[Verse]

Bb                      Eb Bb
Like pebbles on a beach,

Bb              F        Ab+9  F
Kicked around, displaced by feet,

Eb                Eb Ebs4 Eb                          C   F
Like broken stones,         they're all trying to get home

Bb                Eb Bb
Like a losers reach,

Bb                  F Ab+9   F
Too slow n short to hit the peaks,

Eb                  Ebs4 Eb                Bb Eb Bb
Yea so lost n alone,     yea trying to get home.

[Chorus]

Bb             Eb Ebs4 Eb
As another bit shatters,

                           Bb Eb Bb
Another little bit gets lost,

                        Gm                  Ab+9   F
Tell me what else really matters, at such a cost?

[Verse 2]

Bb               Eb Bb
Like a losers reach,

Bb                  F   Ab +9 F
Too slow n short to hit the peaks,

           Ebs4 Eb                     Bb Eb Bb
so lost n alone,  yea like broken stones.

Break= as verse 1 but you can improvise/embellish on the pentatonic – works great. [Chorus]

Bb             Eb Ebs4 Eb
As another bit shatters,

                            Bb Eb Bb
Another little bit gets lost,

                         Gm                 Ab +9   F
Tell me what else really matters, at such a cost?

Like broken stones, all trying to get home

The Ab+9 – all the other versions state it's a C chord but clearly it's not. This version is exactly the same as the record and fits over it perfectly
