Roof Over My Past

G                  C
 you walk the streets each day
        G                C             G
 the people stop and move stop and move
Am                          G
 and then they ask for money
Am                       G                 C
 you never give em change it's just your style


 G                C
 nobody gets close to me
    G            C
 nobody gets inside
            Am                   Bm            C
 you get the colors of the street i get the sky
                 Am              Bm            C
 you get the memories
            G
 i get the miles


 [Verse 2]

 G                  C                 G
 pardon me my friend what was the name
             C                    G
you said we loved each other when
Am                      G
 you always ask for something
Am                   G
 you never seem to change
                  C
 it's just your style
                 Am            Bm            C
 you get the memories
            G
 i get the miles


 [Chorus]

     D                C             G           Em
 the keepsakes i have on me are the only ones i have
     Bm                    C                 G
 the years destroyed the proof of what I've been
D                C          G               Em
 you'll have to meet me in another time and place
     Bm           C               Am            D
 the roof over my past has fallen in


 [Verse 3]

G               C                  G
 you count your winnings out with hands
             C                     G
 too soft to ever touch the ground
     Am              C                     G
 you say i should be thankful for the view
          Am                C                 G
 from the ditches i've been digging out for you


 [Chorus]

     D                C             G           Em
 the keepsakes i have on me are the only ones i have
     Bm                    C                G
 the years destroyed the proof of who I've been
D                C          G               Em
 you'll have to meet me in another time and place
     Bm           C               Am
 the roof over my past has fallen in
 D
 in


             C                 D
 you get the picture i get the scene
             G                Em
 you get the ticket i get the steam
             C                 D
 you get the meaning i get the sound
           G                 Em
 i get the hotel you get the town
           C                    D
 i get the practice you get the touch
           G                    Em
 i get the patience you get the rush
             C          D             G               Em
 you get the moment of elation just before the candle dies
             Am
 you get the memories i get


 [Chorus]

     D                C                 G           Em
 the keepsakes i have on me they're the only ones i have
     Bm                    C                 G
 the years destroyed the proof of what I've been
D                C          G                 Em
 you'll have to meet me in another time and place
     Bm           C               Am            Bm            C
 the roof over my past has fallen in

Am            Bm            C


G                  C                  G                C
 you walk the streets each day the people stop and move
              G

              Am            G             Am
