[Intro]
A

[Verse]
D A
That crooked voice came creaking out
D A7
Through the frosted glass of a cocktail lounge
D A
Well I love your voice, full of salt and oil
D A7
D A
Stars are burning behind the clouds
D A7
Rats are running the sidewalks down
D A
Well your pitch is loose, and your words are sour
D A7
D A
But they pick me up, and they get me going
D A7
From the windy streets, through the dusty dawn
D A D
To the 79th Street bus going home tonight

[Chorus]
G D
I was told you had a choice
A D
And your blood was burning again
G D
So I stared past the new dawn
A D
And I did what everyone did

[Verse]
A D
Now there's ice in your throat with the radio hissing
A D
As you burn all the breath in your lungs
A D A D A
D A
Now the bells will ring and the sun will rise
D A7

D A
I'm farther away now but your star is bright
D A D

[Chorus]
G D
I was told you had a choice
