Transcribed by August McAllister Key of A flat minor (Abm ) INTRO F#5 B5 Db5 Ab5 Db5 Ab5 ]- 2x Db5 B5 Db5 Ab5 B5 Db5 Ab5 F#5 -------- VERSE ONE Ab5 At the top of the stairs, there's hundreds of people, Db5 running around to all the doors. Ab5 They try to find, find themselves an audience; Db5 their deductions need applause. Db5 Ab5 The rich man stands in front of me, Ab5 Db5 The poor man behind my back. Db5 F#5 They believe they can control the game, Ab5 Db5 Db5 but the juggler holds another pack. -------- BRIDGE F#5 Db5 I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. F#5 Db5 I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. Ab5 F#5 Db5 I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman, Ab5 F#5 Db5 You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can, Db5 Db5 Db5 Ab5 He'll smile through his guard, Db5 Db5 Db5 Ab5 Survi- val trains hard. Ab5 F#5 Db5 I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands, Ab5 F#5 Db5 He looks at you once, you know he understands, Db5 Db5 Db5 Ab5 Don't need a- ny shield, Db5 Db5 Db5 Ab5 When you're out in the field. -------- CHORUS Db5 Ab5 But down here, Db5 Ab5 I'm so alone with my fear, Db5 Ab5 With everything that I hear. Db5 B5 Db5 And every single door That I've walked through Ab5 B5 Db5 Ab5 Brings me back, back here again, F#5 Ab5 I've got to find my own way. -------- VERSE TWO Ab5 The priest and the magician, Db5 Singing all the chants that they have ever heard; Ab5 and they're all calling out my name, Db5 Even academics, searching printed word. Db5 Ab5 My father to the left of me, Ab5 Db5 My mother to the right, Db5 F#5 Like everyone else they're pointing Ab5 Db5 Db5 But nowhere feels quite right. -------- BRIDGE F#5 Db5 I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. F#5 Db5 I need someone to believe in, someone to trust. Ab5 F#5 Db5 I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found, Ab5 F#5 Db5 There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound. Db5 Db5 Db5 Ab5 If I choose a side, Db5 Db5 Db5 Ab5 He won't take me for a ride. -------- CHORUS Db5 Ab5 Back inside Db5 Ab5 This chamber of so many doors; Db5 Ab5 I've nowhere, nowhere to hide. Db5 B5 Db5 I'd give you all of my dreams If you'd help me, Ab5 Find a door B5 Db5 Ab5 That doesn't lead me back again F#5 Ab5 - take me away. END.
