Note: These chords are not intended to represent exactly what is being played on the
recording. There are a
lot of notes moving up and down within single chords in this song, so I have tried to
reflect that
using familiar chord shapes. In any case, it's certainly not perfect so feel free to
fool around with it.

[Intro]
G G/C G D7/F# G
[Verse 1]
G Am7 Am7/G
They don't seem to know you,
D7/F# G G/C G
Although they say they do.
G Am7 Am7/G
And though they ask those questions,
D7/F# G G/C G
You can't believe they're true.
[Chorus 1]
G G/F# Em
Em Em/C
Just in case you're doubted,
Em/C# Em/C
Your answers won't be heard.
Em Em/C Em/C#
For you cannot retrieve them
Em/C Am Em
Even though they're only words.
Em
G C/G G
[Verse 2]
G Am7 Am7/G
Your eyes are full of stardust,
D7/F# G G/C G
Your hearts are made of tears.
G Am7 Am7/G
If only you could tell them
D7/F# G G/C G
About the lonely years.
[Chorus 2]
G G/F# Em
Em Em/C
But even as you stand there,
Em/C# Em/C
You realize again
Em Em/C Em/C#
That even if you wanted,
Em/C Em/B Am Em
No words could sound the same.
Em
G C/G G
[Verse 3]
G Am7 Am7/G
So gather up your sadness
D7/F# G G/C G
And lock it all away.
G Am7 Am7/G
There is a brighter hour,
D7/F# G G/C G
There is another day.
[Chorus 3]
G G/F# Em
Em Em/C
The hours can go so slowly
Em/C# Em/C
And nothing's as it seems,
Em Em/C Em/C#
And everything you wanted
Em/C Em/B Em
Is lost among your dreams.
