       E
In the corner of a box marked lost and found
A9               E *
I find myself again
E
Lining the bottom of a wishing well
           A9                       E *
with other dreams that might have been
E
Flattened by the pressure of what's coming down
    A9                        E *
I'm relying on faith second hand


[Chorus]:
A9           G#m
I used to be an average man
     A9                     E *
with bigger than average plans
A9         G#m            F#m
Somehow I got lost along the way
            B9
and now I'm here
                    E                              A9
Don't you know that you could be the one to set me free
                   E                                 A9  A * A9 A
I've waited all my life to be someone somebody could see
        G#m                  F#m         G#m
You can find me still in the corner of a box
                A5                       B9
marked lost and found at the bottom of a wishing well

E [Intro Riff]


E
Burdened by the weight of a wrecking ball
    A9                          E *
I'm defining my own sense of worth
  E
I want to bathe my soul in the light
     A9                    E *
as religion finds me immersed
E
Destitution knows me by name
          A9                           E *
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]
