Intro:
| Em | Em | Em | Em |
[Em]I stepped out of the St. James Hotel
[Em]I left you behind curled up like a child
[B]A change is gonna [B7]come
And as the door whispered [Em]shut
I walked on down the high windowed hall
[Em]You lay sleeping on the unmade bed
[Em]The weatherman on the television
In the St. James H[B]otel said that
The rains are gonna c[B7]ome
And I stepped [Em]out on the streets
[Em]All sparkling clean with the early morning dew
[C]Maybe it was you or [D]maybe it was me?
You [Am]came on like a punch in the [Em]heart
[C]Lying there with the [D]light on your hair
Like a [B7]Jesus of the moon
A Jesus of the planets and the [Em]stars
| Em | Em | Em | Em |
[Em]Well, I kept thinking about what the weatherman said
[Em]And if the voices of the living can be heard by the dead
Well,[B] the day is gonna co[B7]me
When we find out[Em] in some kind of way
[Em]I take a little comfort from that now and then
[Em]'Cause people often talk about being scared of change
[Em]But for me I'm more afraid of things [B]staying the same
'Cause the [B7]game is never won
By [Em]standing in any one place for too long
[C]Maybe it was you or [D]maybe it was me?
There's a [Am]chord in you that I could not [Em]find to strike
[C]You lying there with all the [D]light in your hair
Like a [B]Jesus of the moon
[B7]A Jesus of the planets [Em]and the stars
| Em | Em | Em | Em |
Instrumental:
| Em | Em | Em | Em |
| B | B7 | Em | Em |
[Em]I see the many girls walking down the empty streets
[Em]Maybe once or twice one of them smiles at me
[B]You can't blame an[B7]yone
[Em]For saying hello I say hey, I say hello, I say hello
[C]Will it be me or [D]will it be you?
[Am]One must stay and one de[Em]part
[C]You lying there in the St. [D]James Hotel bed
Like a [B]Jesus of the moon
A [B7]Jesus of the planets [Em]and the stars
[Em]I say hello, hello, hello
| Em | Em | Em | Em |
