[Verse]
D A/D
Chased you out of this world, didn't mean to stop
Bm/D A/D
I turned around and suddenly you were gone
D A/D
Like some bird from paradise, the fire and ice
Bm/D A/D
We turned around and suddenly you were gone, gone, gone
D G/D
And now summer burns a hole inside and years are golden once again
A/D Bm/D
My thoughts return to you my dear young friend
D A/D Bm/D A/D
[Chorus]
F#m
Oh come this way
E D
Will you look down this way
F#m
I go down on the street
E D
Where the wild wind's blowing
Here comes a hurricane

F G
I'm looking through the windows
Am Cma9/B
And my mind goes in a whirl
C C/D
Well there's a multitude of candles
Esus4 E
In the windows of this world
F G
I'm looking at the colours
Am Cma9/B
Checking out the straights
C C/D
I'm counting out the numbers
Esus4 E
Will tomorrow never change?
F G
Still I hear you and I love you
Am Cma9/B
And I'll follow you elsewhere
C C/D
And I'll remember this occasion
Esus4 E
I'll remember being aware
F G
We've got panic in the evening
Am Cma9/B
We've got fall-out in the streets
C C/D
And I hear you and I follow you
Esus4 E
And I'll call out and I'll say
F G
I can hear your sister call out
Am Cma9/B
And I hear her call your name
C C/D
They're calling sweet surrender
Esus4 E
And things won't be the same
F G
And don't you think that I don't care
Am Cma9/B
And don't you think that I don't know
C C/D
And don't you hear them calling out
Esus4 E
In a place not far from here
F G
And I hear big wheels are turning
Am Cma9/B
Some things are not to fear
C C/D
They say this is the time and place
Esus4 E
They call street fighting years
F G
And I hear great wheels are turning
Am Cma9/B
And I tell you not to fear
C C/D
They say this is the time and place
Esus4 E
They call street fighting years
F G Am
And I love you, I look for you
Cma9/B C/C Esus4 E
And I walk to you, I walk to you
F G
And I hear big wheels are turning
Am Cma9/B
Is there no way out of here?
F
They'll be calling out tomorrow
