       E5
In the corner of a box marked lost and found
A5               E5 *
I find myself again
E5
Lining the bottom of a wishing well
           A5                       E5 *
with other dreams that might have been
E5
Flattened by the pressure of what's coming down
    A5                        E5 *
I'm relying on faith second hand


[Chorus]:
A5           G#5
I used to be an average man
     A5                     E5 *
with bigger than average plans
A5         G#5            F#5
Somehow I got lost along the way
            B5
and now I'm here
                    E5                              A5
Don't you know that you could be the one to set me free
                   E5                                 A5  A5 * A5 A5
I've waited all my life to be someone somebody could see
        G#5                  F#5         G#5
You can find me still in the corner of a box
                A5                       B5
marked lost and found at the bottom of a wishing well

E [Intro Riff]


E5
Burdened by the weight of a wrecking ball
    A5                          E5 *
I'm defining my own sense of worth
  E5
I want to bathe my soul in the light
     A5                    E5 *
as religion finds me immersed
E5
Destitution knows me by name
          A5                           E5 *
While the trick is to sit where you stand

[Chorus]


I'm caught shuddering by myself
each wish in the shape of a coin
Legal tender for wishes thrown
as the water reflects the unknown
The tide rips through the surface of time
But I can't think of when it began

[Chorus]
