[Intro]
Em Emmaj7 Cmaj7 Asus2 Bm
Em Emmaj7 Cmaj7 Asus2 Esus4
[Verse 1]
Em Emmaj7
He's a modern man,
Cmaj7
Says things well
nearly
Asus2 Esus4
all look the same,
Em
Fidgets with a
Emmaj7
ballpoint pen,
Cmaj7
And he hangs his
head like
Asus2 Esus4
a worn out picture
Em
frame.
[Verse 2]
Emmaj7
It's been far too
long,
Cmaj7
Since he gave a
dam about
Asus2 Esus4
anyone or anything,
Em Emmaj7
Points to a photograph,
Cmaj7
Just that one there
Asus2 Esus4 Em
reminds me of my home,
Emmaj7 Cmaj7
Ooh oooh ooh home,
Asus2 Esus4
Reminds me of my
Em Em7 Em6 Em
home.
[Interlude]
Em Em7 Em6 Emaddb13 Bm
[Verse 3]
Em
Steady like a
Emmaj7
workman's ward,
Cmaj7
There's a clock in
the kitchen that
Asus2 Esus4
won't stop ticking,
Em Emmaj7
Time is the devil's
thorn,
Cmaj7
It'll drag it down and
Asus2 Esus4 Em
just keep kicking out,
Emmaj7
When she's supposed to
know,
Cmaj7
Forever didn't seem
that
Asus2 Esus4 Em
long so long ago,
Emmaj7
oh so long ago . . .
Cmaj7 Asus2 Esus4 Em

Em Em7 Em6 Emaddb13 Bm
[Chorus]
Am Am7/G
Just a little white
light,
Am Am7/G
Ignore that voice
inside,
Am
No one here,
G
Will ever know,
Am
The things you
Am7/G
didn't want to,
Am
You let them
Am7/G
define you,
Am
You at all
G D/F#
shouldn't let go.

Am Em Emmaj7 Cmaj7 Am Bm
Hmm . . .
Em Emmaj7 Cmaj7 Am Bm
[Verse 4]
Em
This is how the
Emmaj7
story goes,
Cmaj7
Roads and roads of
Asus2 Esus4
Highway towns,
Em Emmaj7
Metal and compromise,
Cmaj7
But the best
disguises are the
Asus2 Esus4 Em
ones you keep around,
Emmaj7
Don't you make a
sound,
Cmaj7
No surprises till the
Asus2 Esus4 Em
sun it settles down,
Emmaj7 Cmaj7
Aah aah aah aah,
Asus2 Esus4
The sun it settles
Em Em7 Em6 Em*
down . . .

[Outro]
Em
Oh listen to the
Emmaj7
night sometime,
Cmaj7
You can hear those
guiles a man
Asus2 Esus4
they're talking,
Em
Singing the
Emmaj7
September skies,
Cmaj7
The moon is
hidden but
Asus2
the clouds are
Esus4 Em
walking back.
Emmaj7
Fall in one straight
line,
Cmaj7
Step outside,
feel the
Asus2 Esus4
wind fall right
Em
in time,
Emmaj7 Cmaj7
I I I I ,
Asus2 Esus4
The wind fall right
Em Em7 Em6 Em
in time.
