Sidewalks Of The City

Intro:
G  C  G  C


G      D              Am               C
As you walk along the sidewalks of the city
G         D        Am            C
You see a man with hunger in his face
G       D                     Am            C
And all around you  crumbling buildings and graffiti
G           D                Am       C
As you bend down to tie your shoelace
G      D                      Am    C
Sirens scream  but you don't listen
G           D                 Am     C
You have to reach home before night
G           D                  Am                  C
But now the sun beats down  it makes the sidewalks glisten
G           D                   Am   C
And somehow you just don't feel right
G        Em    C            G
Hold me, baby, give me some faith
G                  Em     C                 G
Let me know you're there  let me touch your face
C       G     C       G    C
Give me love  give me grace
        G            C                        G    C  G   C
Tell me good things  tell me that my world is safe
G           D               Am    C
You pass by bars with empty stages
G             D             Am   C
Three o'clock drinkers fall by
G          D                Am    C
Chairs are placed on top of tables
G                D                Am   C
As you brush the hair out of your eyes
G       D                Am           C
A woman stops you with a question
G                D            Am    C
So you drop some money in her hand
G             D                Am            C
She sleeps in doorways and bus stations
G          D           Am    C
And you'll never understand
G        Em    C            G
Hold me, baby, give me some faith
G                  Em     C                 G
Let me know you're there  let me touch your face
C       G     C       G    C
Give me love  give me grace
        G            C                        G    C  G   C  G
Tell me good things  tell me that my world is safe
