[Intro]
A D G D (x2) G D
[Verse 1]
A He went to visit an old, old friend D G D And it was long, long overdue A And though they stayed up very late D G D They never talked out of turn or tune A A7 And every time they'd say goodbye D G D Well he'd just stay another while A They started from a distant place D G D And were so happy face to face
[Verse 2]
A The one who left wanted everything D The one who stayed never wanted more A It's not your choice, it's how you're built D It's in a blueprint of your soul A A7 The one who left, he dropped his smile D G D And they sat quiet for a while A A7 Then the one who stayed began to speak D G D And in his words, he answered why
[Chorus 1]
D Gm I'm just another drop in the bucket D Bm I'm just another song on a jukebox A G I'm just another face in the crowd A D Another fish in the sea D Gm Something to being one of the many D Bm Something to being one in the masses A G Something to being surrounded by others A D And not alone by yourself
[Interlude]
E A D I never wanted the bright lights in my eyes, I'm much too quiet E A I never wanted them pointing their fingers at me D Em Oh no, but...
[Chorus 1]
D Gm Something to being one of the many D Bm Something to being one in the masses A G Something to being surrounded by others A D And not alone by yourself
[Verse 3]
A The one who left he knew it then D G D And he would never doubt again A He loved this life, he loved his friend D But he'd keep running 'til the end A All words they said hovered above D G D All of the pain, all of the love A They hugged goodbye D G D And in his room, he sang real quiet to the moon
[Chorus 2]
D Gm Something to being one of the many D Bm Who get to sing the songs on the jukebox A G Who get to stay awake all night A D And dream half of the day D Gm Something to waking up in a new town D Bm Something to singing songs to a new crowd A G Something to being surrounded by others A D And not alone by yourself
[Interlude]
E A D I never wanted the bright lights in my eyes, I'm much too quiet E A I never wanted them pointing their fingers at me Em D Em Oh no, but...
[Chorus 2]
D Gm Something to being one of the many D Bm Who get to sing the songs on the jukebox A G Who get to stay awake all night A D And dream half of the day G A Bm Then wake up in a new town G A D Just another face in the crowd
