GEm
Funny how the cities always look the same.
GEm
Holes in your shoes and caught a tune up, up against the way.
Am7DAm7D
Another cheap hotel, some girl's shoes on the floor,
Am7D
just once more hopin',
CCadd9CG
gonne make it singin', hopin', singin' thru the wire.
CHORUS
Em
It's been a long time, it's been a long time, honey,
GEm
and your dreams they get old.
Am7DAm7D
This might not be the greatest story ever told,
Am7DCGEm
just one more heart, one more heart comin' in from the cold.
VERSE 2
Clock in the market square, chiming twelve o'clock.
Somewhere 'cross the border another car gets stopped.
These uniforms asking questions, papers getting read,
I'm feelin' half dead thru the wire.

Am7DAm7D
Girls goin' out tonight, while I was playin' soft.
Am7DC
My body's feelin' broken, and I want to turn it off,
Cadd9G
but I just keep prayin' and playin' and singin' thru the wire.
