Sidewalks Of The City(Chords)

	        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
