[Verse 1]
D5
Old man lying by the side of the road
          Dm7
With the lorries rolling by
Dsus4
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
         Bb                  Am7
And the buildings scrape the sky
D5
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn
        Dm7
And the morning paper flies
Dsus4
Dead man lying by the side of the road
          Bb             Am7
With the daylight in his eyes
[Chorus]
                       G7                      F6sus2
Don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning
                        Em7
Just find someone who's turning and you will come around.

D5
Blind man running through the light of the night
         Dm7
With an answer in his hand
Dsus4
"Come on down to the river of sight"
             Bb         Am7
And you can really understand
D5
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain
        Dm7
Can you hear the sirens moan?
Dsus4
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane
           Bb          Am7
If you're walking home alone
[Chorus]
                       G7                      F6sus2
