[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The bills are paid, but it makes [A] no difference _
[E] To the gods that seem to rule our home
_ _ The heat shut [B] off for no known reason
[A] _ [E] _ This old building's got [B] a mind of its own
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] And I can tell you footsteps on the stairs [A] from three flights up
[E] And I know the jingling [B] of your keys
_ _ [E] You won't hear a no and you [F#] don't look back and [A] you can't slow down
[E] These days you don't have much [F#] to say to [A] me _
[B] And in another town, what would fetch [A] a good living?
_ [E] _ _ Here is [B] barely hand to mouth
[A] _ So [E] I'm going out and get a U-Haul trailer
[E] _ _ And drag it down to [B] Turnpike [A] South
[B] Where the Garden [E] State [A] gives way [B] to the real world
And falls [E]
away in [A] the rearview mirror
We'll mend our [B] wounds [A] and wait out the winter _
[E] Down across the Delaware
[F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [E] We get along in a manner of [A] speaking
_ _ We rarely have to speak at [A] all
_ [E] _ Small talk over [B] takeout pizza
[A] _ _ _ Silently passing in the [A] hall
_ [E] _ _ Posted notes, _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] opposite shifts
_ [E] _ _ _ _ Once in a blue moon we'll wake up in [A] the same room
_ Thankful for these, thy [B] many [A] gifts
We [B] run by [E] night, we live it [F#] and breathe it
With the best of the [A] best and I just [B] don't care
Gonna mend my wounds and wait out the [B] winter _
Down [E] across the Delaware
[F#] _ And I'll see you in the spring _
When the [A] chill don't cut so [F#] deep
_ [F#m]
I'll be back [A] around to [B] give this [E] town [A] another crack at me
_ [F#] _

_ _ And I heard a voice today I swore I knew
From somewhere down in the southern sticks
_ I turned around to see some ragged stranger
_ Blame and change on the uptown [A] six
And I froze like a stone
Could [A] _ [Em] I ever get that low?
_ [A] _ _ [E] Turn my face to the window
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] There by the grace [A] of God I go
_ [F#] Where the Garden [E] State gives way [E] to the [B] real world
And falls away in the [B] rearview mirror
I'll mend [E] my wounds [A] and wait [B] out the winter
_ [E] Down across the [A] Delaware
