C Am (4x) 
F Dm (2x)

[Verse]
C                                    Am
I've walked down high streets looking through windows.
     C             Am
I've been lost in crowds of strangers.
F                        Dm                F                      Dm
Searched record shops and cosmetic aisles, phone books, want ads, bus stops and libraries.
C                    Am               C                    Am
Newspaper headlines, mannequin faces, television stations, billboard advertisements.
F                        Dm
Your voice echoes in the back of my mind.
F                      Dm    
I see your face when I close my eyes.

[Chorus]
F                     G          C
Do you share the same sense of defeat?
                  F
Have you realized all the things you'll never be?
Dm             G                C                   F
Ideals turn to resentment, open minds close up with cynicism.
F
I've got no judgment for you.
                      G      Am     C
Come on and ache with me.
                      G      Am     C
Come on and ache with me.

[Verse]
C                         Am
Through bar rooms, cafés, jail cells and court rooms.
C                       Am
Theaters, restaurants, graveyards and churches.
     F                       Dm
I've spent every dollar that I've ever earned.
     F                       Dm
I'll bleed my heart out, I'll give every word.
C                     Am                   C                    Am
I've asked preachers, doctors and lawyers, socialites, pariahs, mothers and fathers.
F                Dm                     F            Dm            
You may not find all that you're after, in the end I hope it doesn't matter.

[Chorus/Outro]
F                     G          C
Do you share the same sense of defeat?
                  F
Have you realized all the things you'll never be?
Dm             G                C                   F
Ideals turn to resentment, open minds close up with cynicism.
F
I've got no judgment for you.
                      G      Am     C
Come on and ache with me.
F                     G          C
Do you share the same sense of defeat?
                  F
Have you realized all the things you'll never be?
F
I've got no judgment for you.
                      G      Am     C
Come on and ache with me.
                      G      Am     C
Come on and ache with me.  
                      G
Come on and ache with me.
