[Intro]
Em C G D x2
[Verse 1]
Em C G D You know me well, but I know I don’t belong here. Em C G D I've tried through time just to make my song clear. Em C G D But who am I without my reputation? Em C G D Can I stand up to my own expectations?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C In a different world, in a different time, G D I knew my purpose, I felt so alive, Em C Now I start once more, I have been reborn. G D A flake in a flurry, a drop in a storm.
[Chorus]
Em C G D I’ve lost it all what long ago was mine. Em C G D The music speaks to me but what it’s saying I can’t decide. Am7 C Putting melody to rhyme. Am7 C Doesn’t make a difference down the line. Em C G D It’s just a matter of time.
[Verse 2]
Em C G D My friends have gone in the opposite direction. Em C G D Try as I might, I avoid detection. Em C G D Is my choice right, or just a flight of fancy? Em C G D I know my past, it’s the future that I can’t see.
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C In a different world, in a different place. G D I had America’s third most recognizable face. Em C And then suddenly, out of history, G D I’m one in seven-billion and it terrifies me.
[Chorus]
Em C G D I’ve lost it all what long ago was mine. Em C G D The music speaks to me but what it’s saying I can’t decide. Am7 C And I’m looking for my sign. Am7 C And I’m hoping I will find it Em C G D x2 In a matter of time. [SOLO] (not sure how accurate this is..)

[Verse 3]
Em C And if I move on, and if I grow old G D Will I end up penniless, alone in the cold? Em C Or will I find my path, will I find my spark G To illuminate me and get me out of the dark?
[Chorus]
Em C G D I’ve lost it all what long ago was mine. Em C G D The music speaks to me but what it’s saying I can’t decide. Am7 C By the nickel, by the dime. Am7 C It’s a mountain I can climb. Am7 C It’s there for me to find, G It’s just a matter of time.
