  D                            C/Dm
   I look at all the sad story people

   cmajor7                         D
   Lost in the seasons passing them by

                                  C/Dm
   Inside my head lies a life on an island

   cmajor7                         D
   Flooded with darkness deep into the sky


   Bridge   

   C/Dm             cmajor7         D
   But they're only the strangers on a train

   C/Dm             cmajor7      A        Fmajor7 
   Passing through my mind again and again


   Chorus

   A                  Fmajor7
   But it's lonely to stand in this heat

   A                  Fmajor7  
   Deep in the woods who knows who you'll meet

   A                  Fmajor7
   But I didn't know the hill would be the steep

   A                  Fmajor7
   And I didn't know the sea would be this deep

   C/Dm
   And I'm sorry I treat you this way

   

   Deep inside the shell I crawl into
   Crying alone I know I'll get by
   Please stay away I just don't want to see you
   The things that you say I know they're all lies

   But I don't understand what the story's about
   Explain to me please how the sunlight got out

   Please don't leave me here
   Dreaming alone with phantoms
