Intro: Em-C-D-G (x2)
Em C D G
They walk the horses home at night right by my window,
Em C D G
They pull their cariages along busy city streets,
Em C D G
It's from another time, its like a lullaby,
Em C Am D
But I don't think that I can sleep tonight.
Em C D G
So I count the streetlights, I count the stars,
Em C D G
I make a wish and wonder where you are,
Em C D G Am
I wonder if I'll live long enough to feel again.
D G C G
Help me 'cause I'm falling out of grace,
D G C G
I hang my head and hide my face,
D G C
I don't know what it is, I just feel out of place,
Em C-D-G
Like horses in the city.
Em C D G
I played the game, I dropped the ball, I lost another friend,
Em C D G
I gained a future but I can't see where the future ends,
Em C D G
I'd write a letter or write a song,
Em C D G
But once again my voice just comes out wrong tonight,
Em C D G Am
I wonder if I'll live long enough to sing again.
D G C G
Help me 'cause I'm falling out of grace,
D G C G
I hang my head and hide my face,
D G C
I don't know what it is, I just feel out of place,
Em C-D-G Em C D G
Like horses in the city, in the city, yeah.
Em A D G D
But they don't seem frightened as the cars go speeding by,
C D G D C
So why am I so terrified to close my eyes tonight,
Em D C G
I'm just afraid there's no time, no time this time.

They walk the horses home at night right by my window,
Em C D G
They pull their cariages along busy city streets,

I wonder if they'll live to run without the reins again.
D G C G
Help me 'cause I'm falling out of grace,

I hang my head and hide my face,
G D G C
No, I don't know what it is, I just feel out of place,

No, I don't know what it is, know what it is, I just feel out of place,
G D G C
And I don't know what it is, know what it is, I just feel out of place,
Em C-D-G Em C D G
Like horses in the city, in the city, yeah.
