Am Dm [Verse 1] Am Dm Autumn came around like a drifter to an onramp Am Dm There were wet leaves floating in gutters full of rain Am Dm Took to walking barefoot around town F G Melodies from grade school, kicking in my brain Am Dm Saw you on the crosstown bus today Am You were reading a magazine Dm F I turned my face away and I shut my eyes tight G Dm And dreamed about the flowers that hide from the light on dark hillsides Am In the hidden places Am Dm [Verse 2] Am Dm The brakes howled and the bus pulled up near my house Am Dm And I got off at the corner Am Dm Pulled my sleeves down over my hands, over my hands F And I wished I was someone else G And I wished it was warmer Am Dm And when I got home, I thought about you Am Dm Like a desperate policeman, searching for clues F And I almost passed out, just then G And I shut my eyes again Dm Headed for the dark hillsides Am In the hidden places
