Lost In A Crowd

D                                 
   I grew up in a small town by 
    G
the sea
    D                           
I never got why everyone thought 
              G
they had to flee
        D                          
And I never really thought about it
            G
 all that much
         D                         
I just know I liked it more after I
            G
 had grown up

D
And there was always a friend at the
 corner store

On a break from the job at the place
 next door

And she was always content and never
 asking for more
and we never seemed to mind that it 
                    G
was always such a bore

         F                    C   
Well it felt like a movie but it 
         D
was just TV
F                C               
Small town America for the 
        D
tourists to see
F                  C       
Always wanting to talk, never 
               D
wanting to meet

C                  G        
We were just the extras on the 
    D
street
C                  G        
We were just the extras on the 
    D
street

D                             
Well my aunts in love with Mick 
                   G
Jagger so she claims
D                               G
Fell in love in New York City, 1978
D                                 
And she pushed her way all through
                    G
 to the very front row
D                                 
With her eyes on the stage and her
                      G
 feet ready for the show

D
She kept creeping as close as she 
could dare

And kept looking at him with that 
determined stare

And she could feel his love floatin'
 through the air
And it didn't matter that there were
                          G
 a thousand other people there

F                      C         
But she was just an extra in the 
   D
crowd

            F                      
She kept trying to tell him but the
   C                 D
 band was just too loud
           F                C     
That the love she felt for him was
          D
 real somehow

C                  G            D
She was just an extra in the crowd
C                  G            D
She was just an extra in the crowd

D                                 
On a summer up North on a fishing 
  G
boat
     D                         
The cannery rips us off like we 
         G
don't know
D                              
As they sit there and watch from 
                             G
their leather reclining chairs
D                                 
We're outside freezing in the cold
                 G
 and blistering air

D
And we finally get together, think 
of something to do

There's always a greedy scab or two

We'll fuck it up for me and you
For a couple extra bucks for the 
                  G
captain and his crew

               F                 
And from the office they watch it 
   C            D
work out its plans
         F         C              
As the money rolls in and the fish
        D
 gets canned
         F                      
They relax with the thought that 
   C            D
they are in command

C                  G            D
We are just the extras far from land
C                  G            D
We are just the extras far from land

D                                 
And so I flew out to Mos Eisley to
             G
 meet some friends
D                                 
But I didn't see Luke Skywalker or
      G
 old Ben
D                            
And I was feeling a little too 
                        G
embarrassed to ask around
D                                 
I guess I wouldn't really know who
           G
 to ask anyhow

D
And so I went into the bar to have a
 drink

And I was sitting there when I 
started to think

How it all seemed to fit perfectly 
in sync
And then Han walked in and he gave 
                  G
my a sympathetic wink

    F              C            D
But I was just an extra in the bar
         F             C      
But I couldn't figure out why I 
              D
wasn't the star
        F                 C   
After I'd come all this way and 
                D
travelled so far

C             G            D
I was just an extra in the bar
C             G            D
I was just an extra in the bar

               D                   
Well Captain Newman and I went out 
             G
for a cup of tea
       D                           
Just because neither of us had any 
                G
other place to be
        D                          
I said what you're doing, it makes 
             G
no sense to me
          D                        
He said friend look close, you just
        G
 might see

D
I said what the fuck are you trying 
to prove

You've got all the neighbours so 
confused

Out of all the places that you could
 choose
Why can't you just take all your 
          G
shit and move?

                F              C  
He said if it wasn't for you, none
                        D
 of this would be the same
 F                  C             
No one to talk to, no one to know 
    D
my name
F                   C            
No one to stone nobody else here 
     D
to blame

C                  G            D
All the extras I need for this game
C                  G          D
