Verse 1: 
           Am                 Am/G 
Take the forward path. Have a big slice of the city  
         Am/F#             Fmaj7 
Get the upper hand while you're still pretty  
              Am                              Am/G   
But you know what we're like. No, they will never respect you  
            Am/F#                         
The way you want them to respect you.  
             Fmaj7 
I think it's very well understood..

You, you

Your cracked up shell. A dead opera house  
            Am/F#                   Fmaj7 
You give yourself to them now in a game of cat and mouse  
          Am                Am/G 
From the storyboard to the bedroom scene  
         Am/F#                    Fmaj7 
Through eleven World Wars, other people you have been

       Am                       Am/G  
I can come to terms with slowly going mad  
Am/F#                                      Fmaj7          
Things we used to fear in the dark and whatever lies beyond us 
         Am               Am/G 
But I've come to resemble my own shadow  
      Am/F#                          Fmaj7   
As it falls into the sidewalk I'm no longer anyone I know  
 
Bridge: 
F                          E 
No one here reminds me of you  
    Am    F      E 
Yet I see no one else 
           Am             Am/G   Am/F#   Fmaj7                
On the crowded sidewalk  
 
 
Repeat Chorus to fade
