[Intro]
F C Gm Bb F C Gm Bb
F C Gm Bb F C Gm Bb
[Verse]
Gm F C Bb
Oh the turbines pound your plane touches down
F C Bb
The captain catches your eye
Gm F C Bb
And the city crows all perched high and low
F C Bb
On wires watch you go by
Gm F C Bb
And your hair has changed your room's rearranged
F C Bb
Someone's been sleeping inside
Gm F C Bb
And the curtains closed on all your windows
F C Bb
To block out the fried chicken sign
[Chorus]
F C Gm Bb
Roll on Arte roll on
F C Gm Bb
Your heart is too good for this town
F C Gm Bb
Your eyes cast through the glass
F C Gm Bb
At my so sorry mannequin frown
[Verse 2]
Gm F C Bb
The porter sings as he begins
F C Bb
To clean up the mess we have made
Gm F C Bb
And the Christmas trees are cast out on the street
F C Bb
And thе garbage trucks block Hopper Lane
Gm F C Bb
Wеll my head is in pain but I can't complain
F C Bb
Cause my sweetheart waits down in line
Gm F C Bb
And in a while we will be in a house by the sea
F C Bb
Even if it's just in my mind
[Chorus 2]
F C Gm Bb
Roll on Arte roll on
F C Gm Bb
Your heart is too good for this town
F C Gm Bb
Your eyes cast through the glass
F C Gm Bb
At my sorry American frown
[Verse 3]
Gm Dm C Gm
Oh my mouth it ain't fed my lips ain't cherry red
Bb C Bb
And my grin might show my bad teeth
Gm F C Gm
And the people I pass they give me a glance
Bb C Bb
Like I am some lower-class freak
Gm F C Bb
But to you I am fine and I'm in your mind
F C Bb
Even when I'm not around
Gm F C Bb
And in my arms I am strong and that's where you belong
F C
To give em the love that we've found
[Chorus 3]
F C Gm Bb
Roll on Arte roll on
F C Gm Bb
Your heart is too good for this town
F C Gm Bb
My eyes cast through the glass
F C Gm Bb
At your so sorry Marilyn frown
F C Gm Bb
At your so sorry Marilyn frown
F C Gm Bb
At your so sorry Marilyn frown

Oh, the turbines pound
Your plane touches down
The captain catches your eye
And the city crows
Are perched high and low
On wires, watch you go by
And your hair has changed
Your room's rearranged
Someone's been sleeping inside
And the curtains closed
On all your windows
To block out the fried chicken sign
Roll on, Arte, roll on
Your heart is too good for this town
Your eyes cast through the glass
At my so sorry mannequin frown
The porter sings
As he begins
To clean up the mess we have made
And the Christmas trees
Are cast out on the street
And the garbage trucks block Harper Lane
Well, my head is in pain
But I can't complain
'Cause my sweetheart waits down in line
And in a while, we will be
In a house by the sea
Even if it's just in my mind
Roll on, Arte, roll on
Your heart is too good for this town
Your eyes cast through the glass
At my sorry American frown
Oh, my mouth, it ain't fed
My lips ain't cherry red
And my grin might show my bad teeth
And the people I pass
They give me a glance
Like I am some lower-class freak
But, to you, I am fine
And I'm in your mind
Even when I'm not around
And in my arms, I am strong
And that's where you belong
To give 'em the love that we've found
Roll on, Arte, roll on
Your heart is too good for this town
My eyes cast through the glass
At your so sorry Marilyn frown
At your so sorry Marilyn frown
At your so sorry Marilyn frown
