Lyrics

[Intro]
| A | E |

[Verse 1]
A
E     A                   A7          D
 At a time when the world seems to be spinnin'
A                       E
 Hopelessly out of control
D/F# E/G#          A
         There's deceivers, and believers,
    A7        D
and old in-betweeners
     A           E            A
That seem to have no place to go

[Pre-Chorus]
A/G# F#m7               E
         Well, it's the same old song,
     D     A/C# E7          A
it's right and    it's wrong
    F#m            F                E
And living is just something that I do
D/F# E/G#         A
         And with no place to hide,
  A7             D
I looked in your eyes
    A         E       A
And I found myself in you

[Chorus]
A/G# F#m7  E
         I looked to the stars
      D   A/C# E7     A
Tried all of     the bars
    F#m         F          E
And I've nearly gone up in smoke
D/F# E/G#       A
         Now my hand's on the wheel

[Post-Chorus]
     A7               D
I've something that's real
    A           E         A   D/A
And I feel like I'm going home

[Verse 2]
E D/F#
E/G#           A               A7          D
    And in the shade of an oak down by the river
A                      E
 Sat an old man and a boy
D/F# E/G#        A
         Setting sail,
                   A7          D
spinning tales and fishing for whales
       A   E            A
With a lady they both enjoy
A/G# F#m7               E
         Well, it's the same damn tune

[Pre-Chorus]
         D   A/C# E7      A
It's the man in     the moon
         F#m        F          E
It's the way that I feel about you
D/F# E/G#         A
         And with no place to hide
  A7             D
I looked in your eyes
    A         E       A
And I found myself in you
A/G# F#m7      E
         And I looked to the stars

[Chorus]
      D   A/C# E7     A
Tried all of     the bars
    F#m         F          E
And I've nearly gone up in smoke
D/F# E/G#       A
         Now my hand's on the wheel

[Post-Chorus]
     A7               D
I've something that's real
    A           E         A   D/A E D/F# E/G#
And I feel like I'm going home
