       On a bus to St.Cloud, Minnesota,       I thought I saw you there,
Dsus2                                E7sus4     E7              Asus2
       With the snow falling down a - round you,   like a silent-----  prayer,
Asus2
       And once on a street in New York city,
F#m11
       With the jazz, and the sin in the air,
Dsus2                          E7sus4    E7        Asus2
      And once on a cold L.A. freeway,       going-----  nowhere!

Asus2                                       F#m11
      We were just getting to the good part,     just getting past the mystery,
             Dsus2              E7sus4           E7       Asus2
Oh-----, and it's just like you,      it's just like you,       to disagree!
