_ _ _ _ I wrote [Bm] this song in London because I live there [Am] a lot of times, a lot of parts of the year. _ _
You know, sometimes it gets a little cold and dark there, more often than [D] not.
_ _ [F] One time I was just standing there waiting for a cab to [Am] come and this song came to me.
_ _ _ I threw out my hands and said, hey, stop for me man.
[Bm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
Here we go.
_ Standing in the rain, [D] _ the cab [F] coming to view. _
Tell me what you're thinking.
Where am I going [Dm] to?
_ [Am] Running for so [D] long.
Been gone [F] in any night. _
And my heart paid the [Am] price.
This ain't heaven.
[Bm] _ This ain't the life that I [F] fought for. _
Home run, home run.
[Am] _ Reasons for living.
[D] In the heat, [F] inside the car.
You know I'm coming back [Em] for you.
Cab [Am] driver, _ [A] take me [D] home
Spent [F] too much time away, too much [Em] time alone
