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