Verse
Gm F Fsus Gm
D# G# D# A#
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
A#sus A# F
Who said they were through with dealing
Gm
Every time you gave them shelter
F
I know that kind of man
Gm
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
F Gm
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender,
F Gm F Fsus Gm
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
D# G# D# A#
And sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
A#sus A# F
You find he did not leave you very much
Gm
Not even laughter
F Gm
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
F
That is so high and wild
Gm
He'll never need to deal another
F Gm
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
F Gm F Fsus Gm
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
D# G# D#
And then leaning on your window sill
A# A#sus A#
He'll say one day you caused his will
F Gm
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
F
And taking from his wallet
Gm
An old schedule of trains, he'll say
F Gm
I told you when I came I was a stranger
F Gm F Fsus Gm
I told you when I came I was a stranger
D# G# D#
But now another stranger seems
A# A#sus A#
To want you to ignore his dreams
F Gm
As though they were the burden of some other
F
O you've seen that man before
Gm
His golden arm dispatching cards
F Gm
But now it's rusted from the elbows to the finger
F Gm
And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
F Gm F Fsus Gm
Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.
D# G# D# A#
I hate to watch another tired man
A#sus A#
Lay down his hand
F F#n
Like he was giving up the holy game of poker
F
And while he talks his dreams to sleep
Gm
You notice there's a highway
F Gm
That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder.
F Gm
It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder.
D# G# D#
You tell him to come in sit down
A# A#sus A# F
But something makes you turn around
F Gm
The door is open you can't close your shelter
F
You try the handle of the road
Gm
It opens do not be afraid
F Gm
It's you my love, you who are the stranger
F Gm F Fsus Gm
It's you my love, you who are the stranger.
D# G# D#
Well, I've been waiting, I was sure
A# A#sus A#
We'd meet between the trains we're waiting for
F Gm
I think it's time to board another
F Gm
Please understand, I never had a secret chart
F
To get me to the heart of this
Gm
Or any other matter
F
When he talks like this
Gm
You don't know what he's after
F
When he speaks like this,
Gm F Fsus Gm
You don't care what he's after.
D# G# D#
Let's meet tomorrow if you choose
A# A#sus A#
Upon the shore, beneath the bridge
F Gm
that they are building on some endless river
F
Then he leaves the platform
Gm
For the sleeping car that's warm
F Gm
You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter
F Gm
And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
F Gm F Fsus Gm
And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.
D# G# D# A#
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
A#sus A# F
You find he did not leave you very much
Gm
Not even laughter
F Gm
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
F
That is so high and wild
Gm
He'll never need to deal another
F Gm
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
F Gm F Fsus Gm
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
