Well you been standing on the corner for a thousand nights. Slowest corner known to man
D                                                                          G
Watching strange faces pass beneath the light with a bottle waving in your hand
G                                                                             D
You got just enough money for some nothing to go.  This aint exactly what you planned
D                                                                G
So lonesome that can’t even say hello, and no one seems to under-stand.

G           C                      G
So you’re a mixed up kid, come and join the crowd.
    D                             G
The ones who only fit, well their not allowed.
G      C                           G                         C
You’re out on the streets and your feeling blue,.. Traveling Light
        G            C              D          G
You got hole in your soul where the wind blows through 
        G            C              D          G
You got hole in your soul where the wind blows through 

G                                                                                   D
So you wondered away from your childhood home. No one cared to trace the tracks you made
D                                                                 G
You travel by night and you travel alone. Came to rest at a penny arcade. 
G                                                                                   D
Now the last shot is over on a Saturday night. You wake in the beam of a cops flash light.
D                                                                                      G
He’s ask who you are like you knew or you cared. He’s asking where you and just say no-where

C                      G
Mixed up kid, come and join the crowd.
    D                             G

Traveling light are your big mistakes, & the trouble that you got will be your saving grace.
D                                            C                               G
A prayer and a chance, from out of the blue. Asking for a miracle to see you through

G                                                                                   D
I don’t know where I got it, but I got it the same. It’s a feeling that can rip you apart
D                                                                                     G
Follows me around like a part of my name. Like I’m born with a time bomb instead of a heart

C                      G
