INTRO x2
VERSE x2
Em G
With progress comes problems
Em
With wisdom comes age
G
With lessons come learning
Em*
And pleasure comes pain
BRIDGE x1
*Em
You can only have the sunshine
N/C
After the rain
INTRO x2
VERSE x1
Em
I took a walk
It got me thinking
G
Left foot, Right foot
Smiling, Blinking
VERSE-END x1
Em
Breath out, Breath in
Am
Somehow linking
VERSE x1
Em
My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth
G
Lost and the found and the north to the south
BRIDGE-2 x1
Em
And the corners
G Am
To the circle in my mind
Chorus x1
Em G
You may find that the gate has been locked
Em G
When we come back down to what we really are
Em G
Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost
Em G Am
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark
INTRO x2
VERSE x2
Em G
My hands they are empty
Em
But they are clean
G
I'm poor but I'm healthy
Em*
I'm halfway between
BRIDGE x1
*Em
The gutter and the skyline
N/C
VERSE x1
Em
I took a walk to the land's end
G
Thinking 'bout an ex-girlfriend that I had
VERSE-END x1
Em Am
And the pages that I've turned
VERSE x3
Em
And it seems to me that we all love the chase
G
But once we're caught we feel encased
Em
Behind bars of love and trust
G
Uprooted with drunken lust
Em
By people
G
People just like us
BRIDGE-2 x1
Em
Yeah people
G Am
People just like us
Chorus x1
Em G
You may find that the gate has been locked
Em G
When we come back down to what we really are
Em G
Retrace the footprints of the path that is lost
Em G Am
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark
VERSE x3
Em
I took a walk to the station
G
Lost in my imagination
Em G
Having private conversations with myself
Em
And I'm just stumbling 'round
And I wait for the sound
G
Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down
BRIDGE-3 x1
Em
People say I'm just bumming around
BRIDGE-2:
Em G Am
But I've had both my ears to the ground
VERSE x3
BRIDGE-3 x1
END x1
