verse 1:  

A#m                 F#               C#    Fm   
      My heart gets lost like a message 

A#m              F# 
      My head is on the clouds 

          C#          Fm 
      And I don't get it  

A#m              F#           C#    Fm 
      And i'm so fashionably numb  

A#m                F#            C# 
      Sometimes it helps to forget 

                 Fm 
      Where we come from 

Break: A#m  F#  C#  Fm 

verse 2:  

A#m              F#                      C# 
      Out of the mire we were torn from 

        Fm 
      Remember  

A#m               F# 
      Out of the fire again 

           C#      Fm 
      But i'm an ember 

A#m            F#            C# 
      I hold a banner for you 

                 Fm 
      But it's upside down 

A#m              F#            C# 
      You got a question or two 

               Fm 
      But I'm tongue tied now

verse 3: 

A#m            F#               C#    Fm 
      I took a ride on the champagne 

A#m               F#               C#    Fm  
      You took a flight over San Fran Bay 

A#m     F#        C#     Fm 
      We washed misunderstood 

A#m                  F#              C#          Fm 
      Your heart was warm like a brother's should 

A#m                F#          C#    Fm 
      But then the gallow gave way 

A#m                  F#           C# 
      Sometimes they call after you 

               Fm 
      But you say
