_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Eb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Gm] High above the heat _ _ of [Eb] _ _ _ [C] a summer hilly [Gm] up street, _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
a [Gm] night of work musicians _ play [Eb] _ _ _ [C] the solo _
_ [Gm] saxophone.
_ [G] He's _ _
_ [D] _ _ a preacher and a teacher _ [Cm] _ and [C] he stands up [Gm] all alone, _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Gm] stranded in the dark, _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ a powerful vision in [Gm] a pond.
_ A _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Gm] poet in his _ madness, _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ trying to find [Gm] another life, _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ a loser that is using [Cm] _ _ and [C] he says [F] he's [Gm] doing fine.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [C] Look from such a [Cm] height, _
_ [Eb] _ _ it's [C] alright, they're talking back [Dm] to the night, _ [D] it's all that they can [Gm] do, _ _ _ [C] _ talking back [Dm] to the night, _ [D] it's how they make it [Gm] through. _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ If you listen [Bb] you can hear [Gm] them, _ _ [F] their voices drawing near [Bb] them, _ [D] they're talking back to the night.
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] Something seems to take, _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ every dime a man [Gm] can make, _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] his dream is getting smaller _ _ [Eb] and _ _ [G] he wonders where [Gm] to run.
And _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ he's trying hard to [Cm] make it, [C] _ but he's trying not [Gm] to burn. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[Gm] Oh never mind, _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ who's the shade [G] and draws [Gm] the blinds, _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] she takes him in the [G] darkness, _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ where the _ loneliest [Gm] can be.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ She gives him all he has [Cm] to, _ _ [D] and it's no more than [Gm] he needs.
_ [G] That's _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [Eb] _ alright, [C] it's alright, _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ it's [C] all that they [Gm] can do, _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [D] it's how they make [Gm] it through. _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ If you listen [Bb] you can hear [Gm] them, _ _ [F] their voices drawing near [Bb] them, _ _ [D] they're talking back to _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [C] the nights of the [D] heart. _
_ [Eb] That's alright, [C] it's alright, don't get back [Dm] to _ _ _ [D] _ what you think, [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [D] it's how they [Gm] make it through.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
Don't get back [Dm] to the night, [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ don't get [Dm] back, _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
won't stop.
