A C#dim/G He went to visit an old, old friend D G/D D And it was long, long overdue A C#dim/G And though they stayed up very late D G/D D They never talked out of turn or tune A C#dim/G And every time they'd say goodbye D G/D D Well he'd just stay another while A C#dim/G They started from a distant place D G/D D And were so happy face to face

A C#dim/G The one who left wanted everything D G/D D The one who stayed never wanted more A C#dim/G It's not your choice, it's how you're built D G/D D It's in a blueprint of your soul A C#dim/G The one who left, he dropped his smile D G/D D And they sat quiet for a while A C#dim/G Then the one who stayed began to speak D G/D D And in his words, he answered why D Dmaj7 I'm just another drop in the bucket D D/C# Bmin I'm just another song on a jukebox A G I'm just another face in the crowd G A D Another fish in the sea D Dmaj7 Something to being one of the many D D/C# Bmin Something to being one in the masses A G Something to being surrounded by others and not A D alone by yourself E7/G# E7/B E7/D E7/E I never wanted the bright lights and my A G D/F# D/F# A7/E D eyes are much too quiet E7/G# E7/B E7 I never wanted them pointing their fingers at A G D/F# A7/E me oh no, but D Dmaj7 Something to being one of the many D D/C# Bmin Something to being one in the masses A G Something to being surrounded by others and not A D alone by yourself A C#dim/G The one who left he knew it then D G/D D And he would never doubt again A C#dim/G He loved this life, he loved his friend D G/D D But he'd keep running 'til the end A C#dim/G All words they said hovered above D G/D D All of the pain, all of the love A C#dim/G They hugged goodbye and in his room D G/D D he sang real quiet to the moon D Dmaj7 Something to being one of the many D D/C# Bmin who get to sing the songs on the jukebox A G Who get to stay awake all night and dream A D half of the day D Dmaj7 Something to waking up in a new town D D/C# Bmin Something to singing songs to a new crowd A G Something to being surrounded by others and not A D alone by yourself E7/G# E7/B E7/D E7/E I never wanted the bright lights and my A G D/F# D/F# A7/E D eyes are much too quiet E7/G# E7/B E7 I never wanted them pointing their fingers at A G D/F# A7/E me oh no, but D Dmaj7 Something to being one of the many D D/C# Bmin who get to sing the songs on the jukebox A G Who get to stay awake all night and dream A D half of the day G A Bmin Then wake up in a new town A G A D Just another face in the crowd
