Restless Ghearts walking Clonely
down the Amsnowy Fback street lines
Is this the Gpart where the Cred lights
and the pAmale moon should Fsway in time?
But ouDmtside thGere's no Cmusic
The wind blCows as Amcars go Fby
It'd be so eAmasy to run baFck to you tonight
But as long as you're still Cliving
A few short blocks Gaway
Don't want my heart to go tAmhere
My fFeet to walk that Cway
Don't want my wFords to come out Cwrong
But Amevery night just Fseems too long
I don't think that I can Cstay
Don't think that I can Cstay
And isn't Glife sweet and Clovely 
when you kAmnow who's by your Fside
Don't gotta Gask the god Cabove me
Where AmI should run and Fhide
But Dmsomeone said "TGime's a-wCastin'"
Well I'm not Amnearly twenty-fFive
Should I fear a lAmonely death
When I'm Fbarely half alive
But as long as you're still Cliving
A few short blocks Gaway
Don't want my heart to go tAmhere
My fFeet to walk that Cway
Don't want my wFords to come out Cwrong
But Amevery night just Fseems too long
I don't think that I can Cstay
Don't think that I can Cstay

So Amwhy do you Fstay

From SAmtradbroke to Fhighways
His Gface is all you see
And as Dmlong as you're still living

My hDmeart will not go there
But my Dmfeet won't Flet me sCtay

G C

Restless hearts walking lonely

Am F

down the snowy back street lines

G C

Is this the part where the red lights

Am F

and the pale moon should sway in time?

Dm G C

But outside there's no music

C Am F

The wind blows as cars go by

Am F

It'd be so easy to run back to you tonight

But as long as you're still living

A few short blocks away

Don't want my heart to go there

F C

My feet to walk that way

F C

Don't want my words to come out wrong

Am F

But every night just seems too long

I don't think that I can stay

Don't think that I can stay

G C

And isn't life sweet and lovely

Am F

when you know who's by your side

G C

Don't gotta ask the god above me

Am F

Where I should run and hide

Dm G C

But someone said "Time's a-wastin'"

Am F

Well I'm not nearly twenty-five

Should I fear a lonely death

When I'm barely half alive

But as long as you're still living

A few short blocks away

Don't want my heart to go there

F C

My feet to walk that way

F C

Don't want my words to come out wrong

Am F

But every night just seems too long

I don't think that I can stay

Don't think that I can stay

(whistles)

C F C

Even in the morning

F G

You can't even see the signs

C F C

He can't walk on water

F C

And you can't read between these lines

Am F

So why do you stay

when it seems so hard to breathe?

Am F

From Stradbroke to highways

His face is all you see

And as long as you're still living

a few short blocks away

My heart will not go there

Dm F C

But my feet won't let me stay
