[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
AWalkin down Main Street, gettin' to Dknow the concrete
Lookin for a Epurpose from a neon Asign.
AI would meet you anywhere western Dsun meets the air
I'll hit the Eroad, never lookin' Abehind.
[Chorus]
AWell can you deny, there's nothin' Bmgreater
Nothin' Dmore than travelin' hands of Atime
ASt. Genevieve can hold back the Bmwater
But saints don't Ebother with a tear stained Aeye.Bm  A  
[Verse 2]
ASeein' traces of the Dstars that came before
Written in the Epavement, still askin' for Amore
AWhen the hours don't move along, Bmworn-out Dwood and familiar songs
To hear your Evoice is not enough, is more Athan a shame.
[Chorus]
ABut can you deny, there's nothin' Bmgreater
Nothin' Dmore than travelin' hands of Atime
ASt. Genevieve can hold back the Bmwater,
But saints don't Ebother with a tear stained Aeye.
[Instrumental]
A  Bm  D  A  A  Bm  E  A
ALike a man said, rode Dhard and put away wet
Throw away the Ebad news and put it to Arest
AIf learnin is livin', and the Dtruth is a state of mind
You'll find Eit's better at the end of the Aline.
[Chorus]
ABut can you deny, there's nothin' Bmgreater
Nothin' Dmore than travelin' hands of Atime
ASt. Genevieve can hold back the Bmwater,
But saints don't Ebother with a tear stained Aeye
[Outro]
A  Bm  D  A
