G# C# G# D#
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
A# Cm
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender,
A# Cm A# A#sus Cm
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.
G# C# G# D#
And sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
D#sus D# A#
You find he did not leave you very much
Cm
Not even laughter

Like any dealer he was watching for the card

He'll never need to deal another
A# Cm
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger

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

His golden arm dispatching cards

And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
A# Cm A# A#sus Cm
Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.
G# C# G# D#
I hate to watch another tired man
D#sus D#
Lay down his hand
A# F#n
Like he was giving up the holy game of poker

And while he talks his dreams to sleep
Cm
You notice there's a highway
A# Cm
That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder.
A# Cm
It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder.
G# C# G#
You tell him to come in sit down
D# D#sus D# A#
But something makes you turn around

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
A# Cm A# A#sus Cm

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

Let's meet tomorrow if you choose
D# D#sus D#
Upon the shore, beneath the bridge
A# Cm
that they are building on some endless river

Then he leaves the platform
Cm
For the sleeping car that's warm
A# Cm
You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter
A# Cm
And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
A# Cm A# A#sus Cm
And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.
G# C# G# D#
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
D#sus D# A#
You find he did not leave you very much

Not even laughter
A# Cm
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
A#
That is so high and wild
Cm
He'll never need to deal another
A# Cm
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
A# Cm A# A#sus Cm
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
