Philadelphia - John Mark McMillan

Capo 4


INRO: C Am G C Am G 
      C G C G C G Em
Verse 1
C
You step through me
Am                             G
And the screen door hits the wood
G
And your packing all your things
C                   Am                    G
You say your moving out to there to Hollywood
G
And I can't do a thing

Pre-Chorus 1
C
You say there's nothing for you
G
In this cardboard town
C
And every bridge you cross
G
Your gonna burn it to the ground
C                      G                   Em
You wont listen to a word that I'm telling ya

Chorus
C
So who's running through the halls
G
In the houses of pain
C
That are staring back at me
G
Like the ocean from a plane
C
I swear I've seen your eyes
G                     Em
in the ghost of Philadelphia


Verse 2
I think about you late at night sometimes
When I can't sleep
Cause I can hear the train
It's always there
You just don't know it
Till a quarter to three
You just can't hear it in the day

Pre-Chorus 2
When every body's got your number
In a plexy glass town
Where the birds ain't got wings
But no one makes a sound
Cause they all know how to fly
Just I wouldn't buy what they're selling ya


Chorus
So who's running through the halls
In the houses of pain
That are staring back at me
Like the ocean from a plane
I swear I've seen your eyes
in the ghost of Philadelphia


Verse 3
I run into your old man every once and again
Mostly in the spring
Reminds me of our younger and more genuine days when
You weren't so out of reach

Pre-Chorus 3
Still for all your running
You just can't change a mile
Of the things you carry around
In the closet of your mind
And the days keep coming man
They never fail ya


Bridge
C
Your never gonna run away
C
From what your hanging round your head
Em
Your never gonna run away
Em
From what your hanging round your head
C
Your never gonna run away
C
From what your hanging round your head
Em
And I'm never gonna run away
Em
From what you said
