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