G                           F                 C

On a wind swept street in another city

          G                     F                              C

I was coolin' my feet and I sang a little ditty

        G                             F              C

The flagpole was tappin' – Keeping time

            G                              F                                        C

To the song that I’m singin' and the squeaking of the swingin' sign

 

           F          G        F                 G              Am

If you need a sign I think that’s fine, hey brother

F                     G                F                 G                Am               G

Some people’s signs are a little more faded than others – one another

 

G                              F                C

All roads lead home or so they say

G                  F                                C

All my roads lead me back to the same highway

 

F              G             F                G                  Am

Don’t you know the way things go it’s like a daydream? Yeah

F                       G             F           G       Am          G

No matter how hard you try you can’t scream it seems

 

G                 F                        C

City streets can make your mind blind

G                               F                        C

Reaching for dreams that you might never find

G                            F                        C

Don’t lose your grip 'cuz you might slip away

G                    F                              C

Excuse me sir - Can you tell me the time of day?

 

   F             G          F           G                     Am

I think it’s time to start a rhyme without ending

F           G            F             G                              Am

Can you hear my words of thought without my sending?

      G

No pretending
