INTRO x2 VERSE x2 Em G With progress comes problems Em With wisdom comes age G With lessons come learning Em* And pleasure comes pain BRIDGE x1 *Em You can only have the sunshine N/C After the rain INTRO x2 VERSE x1 Em I took a walk It got me thinking G Left foot, Right foot Smiling, Blinking VERSE-END x1 Em Breath out, Breath in Am Somehow linking VERSE x1 Em My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth G Lost and the found and the north to the south BRIDGE-2 x1 Em And the corners G Am To the circle in my mind Chorus x1 Em G You may find that the gate has been locked Em G When we come back down to what we really are Em G Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost Em G Am It's like trying to find a needle in the dark INTRO x2 VERSE x2 Em G My hands they are empty Em But they are clean G I'm poor but I'm healthy Em* I'm halfway between BRIDGE x1 *Em The gutter and the skyline N/C VERSE x1 Em I took a walk to the land's end G Thinking 'bout an ex-girlfriend that I had VERSE-END x1 Em Am And the pages that I've turned VERSE x3 Em And it seems to me that we all love the chase G But once we're caught we feel encased Em Behind bars of love and trust G Uprooted with drunken lust Em By people G People just like us BRIDGE-2 x1 Em Yeah people G Am People just like us Chorus x1 Em G You may find that the gate has been locked Em G When we come back down to what we really are Em G Retrace the footprints of the path that is lost Em G Am It's like trying to find a needle in the dark VERSE x3 Em I took a walk to the station G Lost in my imagination Em G Having private conversations with myself Em And I'm just stumbling 'round And I wait for the sound G Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down BRIDGE-3 x1 Em People say I'm just bumming around BRIDGE-2: Em G Am But I've had both my ears to the ground VERSE x3 BRIDGE-3 x1 END x1
