Intro:  D  A  D  A


             D            G
There was a banquet of believers 
         A               D
When we walked into the room.
   D                A
December days of Christmas
 G                 A
Felt like days in June.
                Bm
And there were morning light 
     ?             D            G
And sunrise chimes echoed all around.
 D                  A
Now's the time for weary minds
     G                Bm
The moon is northern bound.


                  D
And you know I'm going back
              G
Going back today (Back to where I came from)
                  D
And you know I'm going back
                F♯m   Bm
Going back to stay. 
                     A                         D    A
To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.


            D              G
There's a promise in the twilight
        A             D
It's so innocent and wild. 
     D                     A
Two hearts that break the silence
         G               A
You can hear a distant cry. 
            Bm             ?
And there's emptiness and loneliness
      D                G
It's more or less the same. 
       D               A
Let's run between the raindrops, babe 
     G                   Bm
And catch the midnight train.



                  D
And you know I'm going back
              G
Going back today (Back to where I came from)
                  D
And you know I'm going back
                F♯m   Bm
Going back to stay. 
                     A                       (bridge comes in)
To the alleys where pearls of passion came my way.
