The One Who Stayed And The One Who Left Ukulele tab

	  Intro: A  D G D (x2) G D 

 
 A 
He went to visit an old, old friend 
 D                    G      D 
And it was long, long overdue 
A 
And though they stayed up very late 
  D                        G       D 
They never talked out of turn or tune 
A                     A7 
And every time they'd say goodbye 
D                     G      D 
Well he'd just stay another while 
A 
They started from a distant place 
D                  G       D 
And were so happy face to face 

 
A 
The one who left wanted everything 
D 
The one who stayed never wanted more 
A 
It's not your choice, it's how you're built 
D 
It's in a blueprint of your soul 
A                    A7 
The one who left, he dropped his smile 
D           G      D 
And they sat quiet for a while 
A                       A7 
Then the one who stayed began to speak 
D                    G        D 
And in his words, he answered why 


 
D                Gm 
I'm just another drop in the bucket 
D                Bm 
I'm just another song on a jukebox 
A                G 
I'm just another face in the crowd 
        A          D 
Another fish in the sea 
D                  Gm 
Something to being one of the many 
D                  Bm 
Something to being one in the masses 
A                  G 
Something to being surrounded by others 
          A          D 
And not alone by yourself 


Interlude 
E                                      A         D 
I never wanted the bright lights in my eyes, I'm much too quiet 
E                                             A 
I never wanted them pointing their fingers at me 
   D   Em 
Oh no, but... 


 
D                  Gm 
Something to being one of the many 
D                  Bm 
Something to being one in the masses 
A                  G 
Something to being surrounded by others 
          A         D 
And not alone by yourself 



A 
The one who left he knew it then 
D                  G        D 
And he would never doubt again 
A 
He loved this life, he loved his friend 
D 
But he'd keep running 'til the end 
A 
All words they said hovered above 
D           G                D 
All of the pain, all of the love 
A 
They hugged goodbye 
                 D                  G      D 
And in his room, he sang real quiet to the moon 


 
D                  Gm 
Something to being one of the many 
D                   Bm 
Who get to sing the songs on the jukebox 
A                G 
Who get to stay awake all night 
          A           D 
And dream half of the day 
D                   Gm 
Something to waking up in a new town 
D                    Bm 
Something to singing songs to a new crowd 
A                      G 
Something to being surrounded by others 
          A          D 
And not alone by yourself 


Interlude 
E                                      A         D 
I never wanted the bright lights in my eyes, I'm much too quiet 
E                                              A 
I never wanted them pointing their fingers at me 
Em D   Em 
Oh no, but... 



D                  Gm 
Something to being one of the many 
D                   Bm 
Who get to sing the songs on the jukebox 
A                 G 
Who get to stay awake all night 
          A           D 
And dream half of the day 
          G       A    Bm 
Then wake up in a new town 
      G           A      D 
Just another face in the crowd
