Verse 1 Am G From the mountain tops down to the sunny street, G13 F E7 A different drum is playing a different kind of beat. Am G It's like a mystery that never ends, Ebdm F#dim Adim E7 I see you crying and I want to kill your friends. Chorus Amaj7 F#m I hear your footsteps in the street, Bm Bm aug It won't be long before we meet, Bm7 E7 It's obvious. Amaj7 Fm Just count me in and count me out and Bm Bm aug I'll be waiting for the shout, Bm7 E7 Oblivious... Verse 2 Am G Met Mo and she's okay, said no one really changed, G13 F E7 Got different badges but they wear them just the same. Am G Ebdim F#dim But down by the ballroom I recognized that flaming fountain Adim E7 In those kindred caring eyes.Fmaj7 Cmaj7 I hope it haunts me 'til I'm hopeless, Gmaj7 Dmaj7 I hope it hits you when you go, Amaj7 Bmaj7 And sometimes on the edge of sleeping F E7 It rises up to let me know it's not so deep, Am I'm not so slow.Amaj7 F#m I hear your footsteps in the street, Bm Bm It won't be long before we meet, Bm7 E7 It's obvious. Amaj7 Fm Just count me in and count me out and Bm Bm I'll be waiting for the shout, Bm7 E7 Oblivious...Verse 3 Am G They're calling all the shots, they'll call and say they phoned, G13 F E7 They'll call us lonely when we're really just alone. Am G And like a funny film, it's kinda cute They've bought the bullets and there's no one left to shoot.Amaj7 F#m I hear your footsteps in the street, Bm Bm aug It won't be long before we meet, Bm7 E7 It's obvious. Amaj7 Fm Just count me in and count me out and Bm Bm I'll be waiting for the shout, Bm7 E7 Oblivious...Amaj7 F#m I hear your footsteps in the street, Bm Bm aug It won't be long before we meet, Bm7 E7 It's obvious.
