Gmaj7
 Rode here on the bus
A
Now you're one of us
F#m           G
It was magic hour
Gmaj7
Watching motorbikes
A
On the turnpike
F#m          G
One of Eisenhower's

Gmaj7                A
Live your life on a merry-go-round,
  Gmaj7                    A
Who starts a fire just to let it go out?

Chorus:
      D                                                          Gmaj7
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight?
F#m   D                             Em       Bm            A  Gmaj7   A
If I saw you on the street, would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?

On a weird guitar, said you wrote a while
In the waking hour
In fluorescent light, antisocialites
Watch a wilting flower

Live your life on a merry-go-round
Who builds a wall just to let it fall down?

Chorus

E             F#m  G
Don't sit by the phone for me
 A            D            A
Wait at home for me, all alone for me
E           F#m     G           A      D              Am
Your fate's not supposed to be hanging over me like a rosary
     Em         F#m       Bm         A#dim7    Gmaj7     D/F#
So morose for me; seeing ghosts of me; writing oaths to me,
       A
Is it so naïve to wonder?

Chorus:
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything

If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
If I saw you on the street
Would I have you in my dreams tonight, tonight?
Don't let motion distort everything
