G     D    D      G
GWell you been standing on the corner for a thousand nights. Slowest corner known to Dman
DWatching strange faces pass beneath the light with a bottle waving in your Ghand
GYou got just enough money for some nothing to go.  This aint exactly what you Dplanned
DSo lonesome that can’t even say hello, and no one seems to under-Gstand.
GSo you’re a Cmixed up kid, come and Gjoin the crowd.
The Dones who only fit, well their Gnot allowed.
GYou’re Cout on the streets and your Gfeeling blue,.. Traveling CLight
You got Ghole in your Csoul where the Dwind blows Gthrough 
You got Ghole in your Csoul where the Dwind blows Gthrough 
GSo you wondered away from your childhood home. No one cared to trace the tracks you Dmade
DYou travel by night and you travel alone. Came to rest at a penny Garcade. 
GNow the last shot is over on a Saturday night. You wake in the beam of a cops flash Dlight.
DHe’s ask who you are like you knew or you cared. He’s asking where you and just say no-Gwhere
CMixed up kid, come and Gjoin the crowd.
The Dones who only fit, well their Gnot allowed.
GYou’re Cout on the streets and your Gfeeling blue,.. Traveling CLight
You got Ghole in your Csoul where the Dwind blows Gthrough 
You got Ghole in your Csoul where the Dwind blows Gthrough 
BRIDGE:
DTraveling light are your big mistakes, & the Ctrouble that you got will be your Gsaving grace.
DA prayer and a chance, from out of the blue. CAsking for a miracle to see you Gthrough
GI don’t know where I got it, but I got it the same. It’s a feeling that can rip you Dapart
DFollows me around like a part of my name. Like I’m born with a time bomb instead of a Gheart
CMixed up kid, is here tGo join the crowd.
The Dones who only fit, well their Gnot allowed.
GYou’re Cout on the streets and your Gfeeling blue,.. Traveling CLight
You got Ghole in your Csoul where the Dwind blows Gthrough 
You got Ghole in your Csoul where the Dwind blows Gthrough
