[Intro]
G  C    G  C

[Verse 1]
       G
In the corner is
 C
where I've been
     G
As I wander up
C
the road
         G
See, I'm lost
but
 C
not abandoned
        G
But it's hard for
     C
one to know
      G
I just find the
     C
wind and float

[Pre-Chorus]
             D7
But if I can't take
it no more

[Chorus]
   G
Then I would have
  C
to move away
      G
Maybe south of
here
     Am7
they'd let us be
    G
And I would
have to
   C
just move on
          G
And maybe Go back
    Am7
home, remember
G  C    G  C
 who I was

[Verse 2]
       G
In the corners
  C
that I've been in
        G
Seems I've found
   C
no other way
    G
Be the only one
 C
left standing
  G
When everyone
 C
elsе is home

[Pre-Chorus]
         D7
Say you can't
hate
The work
    Am7
that you lovе
         D7
And if it breaks
       Am7
How Do you know?
     D7
How Do I hang
in the balance?

[Chorus]
   G
And I would
have to
C
move away
      G
Maybe south of
here
     Am7
they'd let us be
    G
And I would have
to
   C
just move on
          G
And maybe Go
back
    Am7
home, remember
who I was
  G
I wake and
   Am7
rub my head

[Post-Chorus]
    G    Am7
Where have I been?
    G    Am7
Where have I been?
    G     Am7
Where have I been?
    G     Am7
Where have I been?

[Outro]
      G
Maybe south of here
        C    G  C
they'll let us be
