 Street  are filled with broken glass
 you get buried by the past,  give me just
 a little taste,  lay this mess to waste,
 Take me home.
 My  mind is racing take me home,  my body's
 aching so alone,  I'll make you want to stay
 with me  befriended by the enemy,  one more time
 Every  little thing about you tells me nothing  out
 there is ever gonna help me all  these words that
 I hear spoken -  just promises broken now
 Looking  outside from the window sill throw  another
 coin in the wishing well, you'll never  find what
 your looking  for, 15 miles  your dim  light shines
 from so far  away, your  sad smile,  is  all I see
 when I say
 REPEAT CHORUS---
From  the hotel satellite  don't look like you're livin'
right  here's a deal you can't refuse,  you ain't got as
 much to lose  ----Can  you tell your troubles to someone
 who won't laugh at you, It's  alright.  And  as I watch
 you walk away hope  a part of you will stay, it's  alright
 REPEAT CHORUS ONCE and you're through!
 In the breaks between verses, the little hammer is
 just A to B. On the A string: open then second fret
 The little run before "Looking outside from the window.."
 is just ---
