Biography:
Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band formed in the summer of 1981 by Minneapolis high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner. The band (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hüsker Dü and The Replacements.
Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will.

Intro: E Abm F#m B
E A
Street are filled with broken glass
Am
you get buried by the past, give me just
E B
a little taste, lay this mess to waste,
E
Take me home.
E A
My mind is racing take me home, my body's
Am
aching so alone, I'll make you want to stay
E B E
with me befriended by the enemy, one more time
CHORUS:
E Abm
Every little thing about you tells me nothing out
F#m
there is ever gonna help me all these words that
B E
I hear spoken - just promises broken now
G Csus2
Looking outside from the window sill throw another
G
coin in the wishing well, you'll never find what
Csus2 A D A
your looking for, 15 miles your dim light shines
D B E B
from so far away, your sad smile, is all I see
E
when I say
REPEAT CHORUS---
E A
From the hotel satellite don't look like you're livin'
Am E
right here's a deal you can't refuse, you ain't got as
B E Abm
much to lose ----Can you tell your troubles to someone
F#m B E
who won't laugh at you, It's alright. And as I watch
Abm F#m B
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 C-B-A-D
