Intro:
Am   Am&G   Am&F#   Fmaj7

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..


Chorus:
     Am                         Am&G
That I...  I'm gonna hold on to you 
          Am&F#
I'm gonna hold on to you 
Fmaj7
You, you 

Repeat chorus instrumental


Verse 2:
         Am                    Am&G
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 


Chorus x3


Verse 3:
       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
