Intro: G5  G5  G5  G5


G5                          G5
In waves of people you can lose your feet
G5                              G5
You?ve got to stay hard to the ground
G5                      G5
It gets so easy now to lose your way
G5                        G5
When you?re ever outward bound
C5                          C5
A church bell ringing in the fading light
C5                              C5
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
F5                          F5
The ghost of yester-years is touching you
C5                       G5
And as sure as god you?ll fall


G5         G5   G5  F5
And I see you
G5         G5   G5  F5
And I see me
G5        G5  G5  F5
I see it all 
        G5           G5   G5  F5
Like it used to be

C5  C5  C5  C5

C5                         C5
And all the reasons why you started out
C5                          C5
They hit you hard with every bell
F5                       F5
The choir practice in the empty hall
     C5               C5
Is a sound you know so well
C5                             C5
Like something lost inside your overcoat
C5                     C5
You find it later by mistake
F5                        F5
You lost it all a thousand years ago
        C5               G5
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
