Miracle Mile

Em

[Verse 1]
               Em
Imagine a jailhouse
                      Em
Where you’re always free
                Am
Imagine a whorehouse
                  Em
Where you pay no fee
                Am  B
Imagine my surprise
                         Em
At what it turned out to be

[Verse 2]
                 Em                       Em
So just for a moment, will you listen to me
                Am                    Em
And just for a second take me seriously
                 Am   B
And just for an hour
              Em
Get on your knees

[Chorus]
                 Am  B
On that miracle mile
                 Em
Where I got my start
          Am  B
Is it a crime
               Em
To take it to heart
                     Am  B
Cause the sun never shines
                 Em
On that great parade
                     Am B
That leads down the line
                   Em
That ends at your gate

[Verse 3]
               Em
So dream of a sentence
           Em
That never ends
                Am
Prepare your repentance
              Em
Try to make amends
                  Am   B              Em
And wait for the hammer to knock you dead

[Verse 4]
                 Em
And play to the jury
                       Em
When they’ve fallen asleep
                  Am
And wait for the fury
                Em
Of the blessed meek
                           Am   B
When they find that your story
              Em
Has sprung a leak

[Chorus]
                 Am  B
On that miracle mile
                 Em
Where I got my start
          Am  B
Is it a crime
               Em
To take it to heart
                     Am  B
Cause the sun never shines
                 Em
On that great parade
                     Am B
That leads down the line
                   Em
That ends at your gate
