In the Ecorner of a box marked lost and found
               Aadd9  E*
I find myself again
ELining the bottom of a wishing well
                                  Aadd9  E*
with other dreams that might have been
EFlattened by the pressure of what's coming down

I've waited all my life to be someone somebody could see
You can G#mfind me still in the F#mcorner of a G#mbox
marked lost and A5found at the bottom of a Badd9wishing well
E [Intro Riff]
EBurdened by the weight of a wrecking ball
                              Aadd9  E*
I'm defining my own sense of worth
I Ewant to bathe my soul in the light
                         Aadd9  E*
as religion finds me immersed
EDestitution knows me by name
                                     Aadd9  E*
While the trick is to sit where you stand
