[Intro]

D D

then

D G Bm A G A

[Verse 1]

Though the dust it

tried to settle in

It was not like

any where I've been

Pacing around from

the wall to the door

Then stand still

I walk out into the city

sound On the side another

big crowd Fall in the

crowd Try to find my

way out If I could

[Chorus 1]

G D

And everything I know

is everything I knew

It's mixing up and

D A

starting to get a message

through Get lost in early

ways and feeling my new

bruise Losing time, I'm

D A

here a bum and twenty-two

Bare white walls the

chips keep falling

Every verse points up

Bm A

I'm down here storming

At the window try and

take this all in

But nothing is clear

The view from here

A D G Bm A G A

is kind of a blur

[Verse 2]

And the days I'm spending

by myself And the nights

I've done nothing else

Sit on the banks

watch the boats

Hear the crowd

and sit still

Now the crowd has

started clearing out

Stumble home along

a city route How was

the past as I make my

way back up the hill

[Chorus 2]

G D

And everything I know

is everything I knew

It's mixing up and

D A

starting to get a message

through Get lost in early

ways and feeling my new

bruise Losing time, I'm

D A

here a bum and twenty-two

Bare white walls the

chips keep falling

Every verse points up

Bm A

I'm down here storming

At the window try and

take this all in

But nothing is clear

The view from here

is kind of a blur

[Bridge]

G F#m

Traffic storming

by a city sky

A mass of people try

our hearts to pry

Between the scabs and

Bm G

all the building slabs

G F#m

But up above it started

coming clear And I

Bm A

remember what I'm doing

here I take a step into

the crowd's room

And I disappear

[Outro]

G F#m Bm D

G F#m Bm D A
