Intro: C  G  D  G  C  G  D  G 

      C          G             D        G 
I was at the bus station, that terminal place 
         C           G                 D           G 
With the rest of the desperate, who've fallen from grace 
      C         G             D          G 
Where eyes are averted, where other eyes stare 
    C          G         D        G 
Man talking to somebody, nobody's there 


        C        G                D        G 
And the terminal cases, they're impossibly young 
       C          G         D             G 
And an old man is asking if I've seen his son 
        C         G                     D         G 
And the cops do a walk through, bottles slip into bags 
        C          G               D          G 
And the beggar boy standing there, hanging in rags 


Chorus: 
D 
Nothing much changes 
         C          G 
Just the passing of time 
        C          G 
And the faces that wait here 
       D          G 
At the end of the line 


Chorus: 
D 
Nothing much changes 
         C          G 
Just the passing of time 
        C          G 
And the faces that wait here 
       D          G 
At the end of the line 


Bridge: 
        D                            C           G 
And the eyes, they get raised to the blue of the screen 
       D                   C         G 
To the coming and going of men and machines 
      D                         C          G 
And I think, very likely, the departure of dreams 
      C                     G 
The arrival of the midnight hour 


Instrumental: C ~ ~ G  C ~ ~ G   C  G  D  G   C  G  D  G   C  G  D  G 


Bridge: 
        D                            C           G 
And the eyes, they get raised to the blue of the screen 
       D                   C         G 
To the coming and going of men and machines 
      D                         C          G 
And I think, very likely, the departure of dreams 
      C                     G 
The arrival of the midnight hour  


          C             G                    D        G 
There's a girl with her legs crossed, got an ankle tattoo 
        C      G         D              G 
It's an ugly reminder in four shades of blue 
        C             G                  D        G 
And the bad boys, the rude boys, they're into the game 
         C               G            D            G 
And they keep their eyes open for the halt and the lame 


Chorus: 
    D 
And nothing much changes 
         C          G 
Just the passing of time 
        C          G 
And the faces that wait here 
       D          G 
At the end of the line 


Chorus: 
D 
Nothing much changes 
         C          G 
Just the passing of time 
        C          G 
And the faces that wait here 
       D          G 
At the end of the line
