People Watching

[Intro]
C Gadd11 Fmaj7 C Gadd11
Am Gadd11 Fmaj7 C Gadd11
C Gadd11

[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
     I peoplewatch on the way back home
                         C
Envious of the glimmer of hope
Gadd11
      Gives me a break from feeling alone
                  Am    Gadd11     Fmaj7
Gives me a moment out of      the ego   
I used to feel so invincible
                                      C           Gadd11
I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin' of
Back in the Gasworks, screamin' the song
                        Am           Gadd11    Fmaj7
Just the beauty of youth  would quell      my aching heart

[Pre-Chorus]
                  C     Gadd11
Oh, I feel so dark rememberin'
Am Gadd11   Fmaj7
         Oh,     my heart,
              C     Gadd11
I feel so dark rememberin'

[Chorus]
Fmaj7
     I peoplewatch on the way back home
C
 Everybody on the trеadmill, runnin'
Gadd11
      Under the billboards,
out of the hеat
                     Am     Em            Fmaj7
Somebody's darling's on the street tonight
Oh, I can't stop runnin'
C
 I see the whole town fall
Gadd11
      I peoplewatch on the way back home
                     C            Gadd11
I peoplewatch on the way back home

[Post-Chorus]
Fmaj7 C Gadd11 Am Gadd11

[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
     I came back home after seven years
                                 C
Wide awake, tracing tracks of her tears
Gadd11
      Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it
                           Am    Gadd11        Fmaj7
I promised her I'd get her out of      the care     home
The place was fallin' to bits
                             C             Gadd11
Understaffed and overruled by callous hands
The poor nurse was around the clock
                       Am        Gadd11       Fmaj7
And the beauty of youth  had left      my breaking heart

[Pre-Chorus]
                  C             Gadd11
But it wasn't hard when you love      someone
Am
  Oh,
Gadd11        Fmaj7                                 C
      I stayed     all night till you left this life 'cause
      Gadd11
that's      just love

[Chorus]
Fmaj7
     I peoplewatch on the way back home
C
 Everybody on the trеadmill, runnin'
Gadd11
      Under the billboards,
out of the hеat
                     Am     Em            Fmaj7
Somebody's darling's on the street tonight
Oh, I can't stop runnin'
C
 I see the whole town fall
Gadd11
      I peoplewatch on the way back home
                     Am           Em
I peoplewatch on the way back home

[Post-Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
Gadd11
      I peoplewatch on the way back home
                     Am           Em
I peoplewatch on the way back home
Fmaj7 C
Gadd11
      I peoplewatch on the way back home
                     Am           Em
I peoplewatch on the way back home

[Bridge]
 C        Dsus2      Gadd11
Above the rainsoaked Garden of Remembrance
          C              Dsus2            Gadd11
Kittywakes etched your initials in the sky
Oh,
      C                    Dsus2           Gadd11
I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the
times
             Gadd11
And I'll hold      you in my heart till the day I die
C  Gadd11
 Oh

[Chorus]
Fmaj7
     I peoplewatch on the way back home
C
 Everybody on the trеadmill, runnin'
Gadd11
      Under the billboards,
out of the hеat
                     Am     Em            Fmaj7
Somebody's darling's on the street tonight
Oh, I can't stop runnin'
C
 I see the whole town fall
Gadd11
      I peoplewatch on the way back home
                     C            Gadd11 Fmaj7
I peoplewatch on the way back home

[Post-Chorus]
C
Gadd11
      I peoplewatch on the way back home
                     Am           Em Fmaj7
I peoplewatch on the way back home
C
Gadd11
      I peoplewatch on the way back home
                     C            Gadd11
I peoplewatch on the way back home

[Outro]
Fmaj7 C Gadd11 Am Em
