[Intro]
Am    G    Am    G
[Verse]
You Amtraded all your Clovers for a Fhouse by the Griver
And Amall those sweet deCceptions and Fone more broken Gvow
And the Amdark-eyed poCets who Fpromised you forGever, tell meC  
Where Fare they GnowAm  
Where Fare they Gnow
[Verse]
AmYou were always Crunning, just Fone more step aGhead
And Amjust like all the Cothers, I was Ffollowing someGhow
Was it Amsomething I wasn't Csaying, Fsomething I should have Gsaid, tell meC  
Where Fam I GnowAm  
Where Fam I Gnow
[Instrumental]
Am   C   F   G
Am   C   F   G
Am   C   F   G   C
F   G      Am   F   G
[Verse]
Now sweet Amsolitude surCrounds you like a Fblanket of wild Gheather
You are Amone with the Cland and the Fsky someGhow
And the Amseasons sway in Csympathy as you Fdance in time toGgether, tell meC  
Where Fare you GnowAm  
Where Fare you Gnow
[Verse]
And AmI will write a Csong for you and Ftry to fill this Gspace
And I'll Amtake the time in Cpassing to Fwonder from aGfar
AmMaybe I'll try to Cfind you, though you Fnever left a Gtrace
And maybe Cthen I will Fknow who you Gare
Maybe Amthen I will Fknow who you Gare
[Outro]
Am   C   F   G   C

[Intro]

Am G Am G

[Verse]

Am C F G

You traded all your lovers for a house by the river

Am C F G

And all those sweet deceptions and one more broken vow

Am C F G C

And the dark-eyed poets who promised you forever, tell me

F G Am

Where are they now

F G

Where are they now

[Verse]

Am C F G

You were always running, just one more step ahead

Am C F G

And just like all the others, I was following somehow

Am C F G C

Was it something I wasn't saying, something I should have said, tell me

F G Am

Where am I now

F G

Where am I now

[Instrumental]

Am C F G

Am C F G C

F G Am F G

[Verse]

Am C F G

Now sweet solitude surrounds you like a blanket of wild heather

Am C F G

You are one with the land and the sky somehow

Am C F G C

And the seasons sway in sympathy as you dance in time together, tell me

F G Am

Where are you now

F G

Where are you now

[Verse]

Am C F G

And I will write a song for you and try to fill this space

Am C F G

And I'll take the time in passing to wonder from afar

Am C F G

Maybe I'll try to find you, though you never left a trace

C F G

And maybe then I will know who you are

Am F G

Maybe then I will know who you are

[Outro]

Am C F G C
