It's true that all the men you knew were dealers

Who said they were through with dealing

It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
C# D#m
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender,

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
B E B F#
And sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
F#sus F# C#
You find he did not leave you very much
D#m
Not even laughter
C# D#m
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
C#
That is so high and wild

He'll never need to deal another
C# D#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger

And then leaning on your window sill
F# F#sus F#
He'll say one day you caused his will
C# D#m
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter
C#
And taking from his wallet
D#m
An old schedule of trains, he'll say
C# D#m
I told you when I came I was a stranger
C# D#m C# C#sus D#m
I told you when I came I was a stranger
B E B
But now another stranger seems
F# F#sus F#
To want you to ignore his dreams
C# D#m
As though they were the burden of some other
C#
O you've seen that man before
D#m
His golden arm dispatching cards

But now it's rusted from the elbows to the finger
C# D#m
And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
C# D#m C# C#sus D#m
Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.
B E B F#
I hate to watch another tired man
F#sus F#
Lay down his hand
C# F#n
Like he was giving up the holy game of poker

And while he talks his dreams to sleep
D#m
You notice there's a highway
C# D#m
That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder.
C# D#m
It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder.
B E B
You tell him to come in sit down
F# F#sus F# C#
But something makes you turn around
C# D#m
The door is open you can't close your shelter

You try the handle of the road

It opens do not be afraid

It's you my love, you who are the stranger

Well, I've been waiting, I was sure

We'd meet between the trains we're waiting for

I think it's time to board another

Please understand, I never had a secret chart

To get me to the heart of this

Or any other matter

Let's meet tomorrow if you choose
F# F#sus F#
Upon the shore, beneath the bridge
C# D#m
that they are building on some endless river
C#
Then he leaves the platform
D#m
For the sleeping car that's warm
C# D#m
You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter
C# D#m
And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
C# D#m C# C#sus D#m
And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.
B E B F#
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
F#sus F# C#
You find he did not leave you very much
D#m
Not even laughter
C# D#m
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
C#
That is so high and wild
D#m
He'll never need to deal another
C# D#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
C# D#m C# C#sus D#m
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
