AmCome, and steal my thoughts away    
Thief of my iGdentity

FPut your hand on mine    
And take me from this Ctired ride    
Take me from this Gearly night    
From the sea and rain and Amcountryside    
If you Ftalk to me then soon    
I’ll be your acCcomplice in words    
And we will talk Gonly in verse    
Talk only in Everse

AmI will leave the ones I love    
Leave them for the Gyears to come    
Even though I may be Fdoing wrong, Edoing wrong

Walk out to the sGtation cold    
Buy a ticket and and then sFlowly go, sElowly go

CAPO ON THE THIRD FRET

___________________________________________

[INTRO (2x)]

Am C G D

[VERSE]

Come, and steal my thoughts away

Thief of my identity

F E

I was holding on to decency, reality

Come, and take me for a while

Up to your abundant pace

F E

I’ll be your sidecar if you want to race, want to race

[CHORUS]

Put your hand on mine

And take me from this tired ride

Take me from this early night

From the sea and rain and countryside

If you talk to me then soon

I’ll be your accomplice in words

And we will talk only in verse

Talk only in verse

[VERSE]

I will leave the ones I love

Leave them for the years to come

F E

Even though I may be doing wrong, doing wrong

I will follow in your steps

Walk out to the station cold

F E

Buy a ticket and and then slowly go, slowly go

[CHORUS]

In this place and time

Easy is the first escape

I got money I need no disguise

I’m a citizen and city wise

In this time and place

There is no one who will shoot you down

No one who will take a girl

And tell her she can’t have the world

[SYNTH SOLO - SPONKEN WORD PART (2x)]

Dm F C G

[VERSE]

Boy, you don’t know what you want

It isn’t what you think it is

A# A

All the dreams, and guilt and loneliness, loneliness

Boy, if we were to be friends

Subtle is the art required

A# A

To draw the evil from this lonely pyre, lonely pyre

[CHORUS (2x)]

Take this hand from me

And guide me round your tools of work

Fashion me into your junior clerk

Let me live in shadows of your words

When things get tough for you

As they did when you came up through the ranks

You can borrow from my faith

From my faith, from my faith...
