Verse
E
Hey girl I'm calling all stations
C#m
Blowing down the wire tonight
A
I'm singing through these power lines
B
And I'm running on time and feeling alright
A
Skipping over the curves in the air
B
Reaching to see if you're out there
C#m
Coming across your radio station
G#m
Calling out nation to nation
A
If you can hear me then say alright
B E | | A | B (with intro riff)
And if you can, meet me in the city tonight
Verse
E
I was busted for feeling no pain
C#m
Charged for doing things I can't explain
A
Picked up for parole violation
B
Locked with the boys in the subway station
A
Handcuffed on the killing floor
B
Transmitting from behind these jailhouse doors
C#m
And if you're sick, if you're tired, if you're broken
G#m
Check the line, check the time, check the action, check the score
A
Come and get me if I ain't right
B E | | A | B
But if i am meet me in city tonight
Bridge
D
Everybody's lost in romance
F#m C#m
Do you feel the way i feel, ohhh
D E
I'm just searching girl for the love, for the bone, for muscle, for what's real

A

B
Locked with the boys in the subway station
E
I pushed my way through the hardened crowd
C#m
I shoved my way through the hardened crowd
A
That's the sign saying this is not allowed
B
The way someones standing straight, shouting out loud
A
Handcuffed to the jailhouse door
B
Transmitting from the gallow floor
C#m
And if you're sick, if you're tired, if you're broken
G#m
Check the line, check the time, check the action, check the score
A
If you can holler then say alright
B
If you can holler then say alright
A
If you can holler then say alright
F#m
If you can holler then say alright
A
If you can holler then say alright
B
And if you can, meet in the city tonight
