Cm Come, and steal my thoughts away A# Thief of my identity G# G I was holding on to decency, reality Cm Come, and take me for a while A# Up to your abundant pace G# G I’ll be your sidecar if you want to race, want to race Chorus: G# Put your hand on mine D# And take me from this tired ride A# Take me from this early night Cm From the sea and rain and countryside G# If you talk to me then soon D# I’ll be your accomplice in words A# And we will talk only in verse G Talk only in verse I, I will leave the ones I love Leave them for the years to come Even though I may be doing wrong, doing wrong I will follow in your steps Walk out to the station cold Buy a ticket and then slowly go, slowly go Chorus: In this place and time Easy is the first escape I got money, I need no disguise I'm a citizen and city-wise In this time and place There is no one who will shoot you down There's no one who will take a girl C And tell her she can't have the world Fm Boy, you don’t know what you want D# It isn’t what you think it is C# C All the dreams, and guilt and loneliness, loneliness Fm Boy, if we were to be friends D# Subtle is the art required C# C To draw the evil from this lonely pyre, lonely pyre Chorus: Take this hand from me And guide me round your tools of work Fashion me into your junior clerk Let me live in shadows of your words When things get tough for you As they did when you came up through the ranks You can borrow from my faith, from my faith Take this hand from me And guide me round your tools of work Fashion me into your junior clerk Let me live in shadows of your words When things get tough for you As they did when you came up through the ranks You can borrow from my faith, from my faith From my faith, from my faith From my faith, from my faith From my faith, from my faith From my faith, from my faith You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  C#  Cm  D#  Fm  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
