I'll take the alleyway today
No need for streets they just compete with other people
Walking side by side on sidewalks
With their clocks all ticking simultaneously
That's where ill be
Stick to the alleyway with me
There is a way
Another way to go and I will take it
A secret way
Some people know about but know one ever sees
And you will find it if your heart is open
and I'm hoping it will lead you straight to me
(688xxx) if you want]
Fast or slow
Take the shortcuts and side roads
Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines
We'll get there our way
I'll take the train tracks there
The ones that run behind the houses down on Pine Street
Traveling side by side like lovers
Never crossing one another
So to speak
And I will walk these tracks forever even if the weather
doesn't change in weeks
And though we more deserved it long ago
D7 B5 (Goes directly into chorus)
it doesn't hurt to know their times free
(Quick )
(Fast or slow)
Take the shortcuts and side roads
Pay no mind to the signs or highway lines
We'll get there our way
Then go directly into chorus again
Fast or slow...
The Outro you can play octaves
