        C/G
I was a kid with a knack

    Fmaj7
For tricks and illusions

     Am
With sleight of hand

G            Fmaj7
I fooled them all

        C/G
I would practice my act

      Fmaj7
In my bedroom secluded

      Am           G                 Fmaj7
While Mom and Dad fought through the wall

       Em7
I took comfort in performing

Em7
It directed all the noises

    Am          G           Fmaj7
In my head with no northern star

     Em7
Nowadays I still lie low

Em7
Until the showtime comes

Am         G          Fmaj7
I guess we are who we are
[Verse 2]
G            C/G
Drunk in the street with my friends

     Fmaj7
City lights, San Francisco

       Am  G           Fmaj7
On the 43, poems from my pen

        C/G
Tension within the band

        Fmaj7
Got the TASCAM from Carlos

      Am             G          Fmaj7
And recorded all the songs in my head

        Em7
I wound up with the label

Em7
Split it all down the middle

       Am
Seemed fair to me

   G            Fmaj7
At least at the start

                  Em7
Til I asked for a contract revision

Em7
Business ruined our friendship

    Am        G        Fmaj7
And I lost control of my art
[Chorus]
  G              C/G     C/B
I stared out the window

               Am    G   Fmaj7
For years in a van

    G         C/G         C/B
And I let the crowd know

             Am    G    Fmaj7
Who I really am

       G           C/G
By the time that I got home

C/B             Am     G    Fmaj7
Broken, hungover again

         G          C/G
I'd lost everything I'd known

    C/B              Am    G     Fmaj7
I'd become a stranger among men

   G      C/G        Fmaj7  Am  G  Fmaj7
A stranger among men

    G     C/G        Fmaj7  Am  G  Fmaj7
A stranger among men
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7                C/G
Living slow, take it easy these days

        Fmaj7
With my wife and our dog John

          Am              G           Fmaj7
Trying to write songs for adverts and films

                C/G
Convince myself that it's okay

     Fmaj7
Cuz if I hook a big one

        Am            G        Fmaj7
I'll be living off of my music still

          Em7
It's not exactly how I planned it

Em7
But it ain't bad for a bandit

         Am          G            Fmaj7
Who came up singing street corner tunes

        Em7
I'm not saying that it's over

Em7
But surrender's much closer

          Am             G           Fmaj7
Than when I was counting cards in my room

            Am         G        Fmaj7
Thinking of all the magic I would do
Fmaj7 [Chorus]
  G              C/G     C/B
I stared out the window

               Am    G   Fmaj7
For years in a van

    G         C/G         C/B
And I let the crowd know

             Am    G    Fmaj7
Who I really am

       G           C/G
By the time that I got home

C/B             Am     G    Fmaj7
Broken, hungover again

         G          C/G
I'd lost everything I'd known

    C/B            Am      G     Fmaj7
I'd become a stranger among men

  G       C/G        C/B
A stranger among men

         Am  G  Fmaj7
A stranger

  G       C/G        C/B
A stranger among men

         Am  G  Fmaj7
A stranger
[Outro]
G       C/G
I was a kid with a knack

    Fmaj7
For tricks and illusions

      Am
With sleight of hand

G             Fmaj7
I fooled them all
