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