[VERSE 1]
Fell out of lGove, wandered around
Wore out my shCoes, went to the tGown
Wouldn't you kEmnow that I couldn't get bCack
The train that I tGook was torn from the track
[CHORUS]
Did you sCee what I sGaw?
Could it bCe that I've lGost
the way to go Emon and a reason to Cgo
and all that I sGee is all that I know?

Cities of fGear, lonesome rooms
Vanishing wCords echo the glGoom
Up on the hEmill, and I looked to the sCea
the ship on the shGore was waiting for me

Did you sCee what I sGaw?
Could it bCe that I've lGost

[VERSE 1]

Fell out of love, wandered around

C G

Wore out my shoes, went to the town

Em C

Wouldn't you know that I couldn't get back

The train that I took was torn from the track

[CHORUS]

C G

Did you see what I saw?

C G

Could it be that I've lost

Em C

the way to go on and a reason to go

and all that I see is all that I know?

[VERSE 2]

Cities of fear, lonesome rooms

C G

Vanishing words echo the gloom

Em C

Up on the hill, and I looked to the sea

the ship on the shore was waiting for me

[CHORUS]

C G

Did you see what I saw?

C G

Could it be that I've lost

Em C

the way to go on and a reason to go

and all that I see is all that I know?
