Intro: G G/C G G/C


G G/C
In waves of people you can lose your feet
G G/C
You've got to stay hard to the ground
G G/C
It gets so easy now to lose your way
G G/C
When you're ever outward bound
C/F C/D
A church bell ringing in the fading light
C/F C/D
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
F/G F/C
The ghost of yester-years is touching you
C/F G/D
And as sure as god you'll fall


G G/C G/A F/D
And I see you
G G/C G/A F/D
And I see me
G G/C G/A F/D
I see it all
G G/C G/A F/D
Like it used to be

C/F C/D C/F C/D

C/F C/D
And all the reasons why you started out
C/F C/D
They hit you hard with every bell
F/G F/C
The choir practice in the empty hall
C/F C/D
Is a sound you know so well
C/F C/D
Like something lost inside your overcoat
C/F C/D
You find it later by mistake
F/G F/C
You lost it all a thousand years ago
C/F G/D
And you pray it's not too late


And I see you
And I see me
I see it all like a diary

And I see you
And I see me
I see it all like it used to be

I'm gonna write it in a diary
Now I remember everything
Yeah I remember how it used to be
With every note that choir boy sings

And I see you
And I see me
I see it all like a diary
