Mission Street
Vienna Teng
(Warm Strangers - 2004)
Intro: Dmaj7 Gm (2x)
Dmaj7 Gm
Mission Street is a striking dark-eyed stranger
Dmaj7 D79 G Gm
Who speaks a language I don't know but long to learn
Dmaj7 Gm
Its cadences fall endlessly beyond the windowpane
Dmaj7 Gm Dmaj7
As I sit as though awaiting some return
D7 G
And my hands are cold tonight
Em
I'm sleepless in this dark
Em A
Forgetting what it was I came to find
D7 G
And it seems that I've been wrong
Em
More than I've been right
Asus4A
More than I've been right
Dmaj7 Gm
Mission Street calls out to me by name
Dmaj7 D79 G Gm
Then hurries on before I've hardly turned my head
Dmaj7 Gm
Promises of answers muttered underneath her breath
Dmaj7 Gm D
Like an offering of contraband misread
D7 G
And my hands are cold tonight
Em
On the strings of this guitar
A
Looking for the chords of what I've left behind
D7 G
And it seems that I've been wrong
Em
More than I've been right
Asus4A
More than I've been right
Interlude: Dmaj7 Gm (2x)
Dmaj7 Gm
Mission Street is alive at every hour
Dmaj7 D79 G Gm
Like I've never been and feared I may not ever be
Dmaj7 Gm
A light so steady on the mountains in the distance
Dmaj7 Gm A
A solitude so deep it might awaken me
D7 G
Well my hands are cold tonight
Em
But the sky is bright with stars
A4 A
And I'm tearing through the veil that keeps me blind
D7 G
And it seems the more I'm wrong
Em
The more that I am right
Asus4A
The more that I am right
