G                                 
Everyone I've ever known has 
     C
wished me well
   G                            
Anyway that's how it seems, it's 
         C
hard to tell
      G           D               
Maybe people only ask you how 
         C
you're doing
              G           D       
'Cause that's easier than letting 
       D#dim             Em    G
on how little they could care
C            C#dim               
But when you know that you've got
   G/D    B7       Em
 a real friend somewhere
Am                                
Suddenly all the others are so 
  D
much easier to bear


G                                 
Now to see things clear it's hard 
         C
enough I know
             G                     
While you're waiting for reality to
 C
 show
        G               D
Without dreaming of the perfect love
    C                 G
And holding it so far above
            D                     
That if you stumbled onto someone 
D#dim             Em     G
real, you'd never know
                    C
(You'd never know)
You could be with somebody who is 
G
lonely too
                             C
(Sometimes it doesn't show)
                          G
He might be trying to get across to 
you
                       C
(Words can be so slow)
               C#dim       
When your own emptiness is all 
G/D        B7/D#    Em
that's getting through
              Am                   
There comes a point when you're not
                            D
 sure why you're still talking
                    G
I passed that point long ago

      G7       C
(Long ago)


                    G
Now I'm so tired of all this 
circling
D             D#dim           Em
And all these glimpses of the end
               G
(You know it's useless to pretend)
C
That's all the voices say:
G          D/F#     Em
"You'll go right on circling
Am                            
Until you've found some kind of 
  D
friend"


G                                 
I saw you through the laughter and
     C
 the noise
         G                         
You were talking with the soldiers 
        C
and the boys
           G                 D
While they scuffled for your weary 
smiles
  C                        G
I thought of all the empty miles


        D                     
And the years that I've spent 
D#dim            Em
looking for your eyes
G                        C
(Looking for your eyes)
And now I'm sitting here wondering 
G
what to say
                            C
(That you might recognize)
Afraid that all these words might 
G
scare you away
                                  C
(And break through the disguise)
            C#dim            
No one ever talks about their 
 D      B7/D#   Em
feelings anyway
        Am
Without dressing them in dreams and 
laughter
D                           
I guess it's just too painful 
     G          G7
otherwise

Look...
                 D#dim
It's like you're standing in the 
window
     Em           G
Of a house nobody lives in
        C                          
And I'm sitting in a car across the
 D
 way
            C
(Let's just say)
                    G
It's an early model Chevrolet
             C
(Let's just say)
                      G      D/F#
It's a warm and windy day
Em         Em/D#
You go and pack your sorrow
    G/D               A7/C#
The trash man comes tomorrow
         C               D        
Leave it at the curb and we'll 
       G
just roll away
