[G]
[A] When I came [D] to the city I was running from [G] the past
My
[D] [Bm] heart was bleeding [D] and it hurt my false [G] alias
She
[D] stayed [Bm] in the city, [D] no exception to [G] the rule
She
[D] was born [Bm] to love me, [D] I was raised to be [G] her fool
Walk that line, your torn heart
[A] Spend your [D] whole life, your whole life trying
[G] Drop that train, free your heart
[A] Spend that, spend that whole [Bm] life
[F#m] [D] [G]

[A] [D] [G]
I went [A]
[Bm] down [D] to the river and I took a [G] look around
There [D]
[Bm] were old man's [D] shoes, there were needles [G] on the ground
[A] No [Bm] more [D] mysteries baby, no more secrets, [Bm] no more clues
[Em] [G] [D]
[Bm] The [F#m] stars are out there, [D] you can almost [G] see the moon
The streets are windy [F#] and the [Bm] subway's [A] closing down
[G] Gonna carry this [F#] train to the other [Bm] side of [A] [G] town
Walk that line, your torn heart
[A] Spend your whole life, your whole life [G] trying
Drop that train, free your heart
[A] Spend that, [G] spend [A] that whole [G] life
Spend that, [A] spend that whole life
Spend [D]
