[Intro] | G D | C | C Em G | D | D G D | | C | C Em G | D | D G D | [Verse 1]
C
 I people-watch on the way back home

                 Em    G
Envious of the glimmer of hope

D
 Gives me a break from feeling alone

                  G   D
Gives me a moment out of the ego

C
 I used to feel so invincible

                            Em    G
I used to feel there was a world worth dreamin' of

D
 Back in the Gasworks, screamin' the song

                    G           D      C
Just the beauty of youth would quell my aching heart

                   Em   G
Oh, I feel so dark

   D        G    D
Rememberin'

C                             Em    G
Oh, my heart, I feel so dark

   D
Rememberin'
[Chorus]
Cadd9
 I people-watch on the way back home

G
 Everybody on the trеadmill, runnin'

D
 Under the billboards, out of the hеat

                     Em        G/B    Cadd9
Somebody's darling's on the street tonight

       Cadd9
Oh, I can't stop runnin'

G
 I see the whole town fall

D
 I people-watch on the way back home

                       G        D
I people-watch on the way back home
[Instrumental] | C | C Em G | D | D G D | [Verse 2]
C
 I came back home after seven years

                      Em       G
Wide awake, tracing tracks of her tears

D
 Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it

                           G   D       C
I promised her I'd get her out of the care home

               C
The place was fallin' to bits

                      Em    G
Understaffed and overruled by callous hands

D
 The poor nurse was around the clock

                   G         D        C
And the beauty of youth had left my breaking heart

                   Em    G
But it wasn't hard

          D            G
When you love someone

D       C                                  Em    G
Oh, I stayed all night till you left this life

         D
'Cause that's just love
[Chorus]
Cadd9
 I people-watch on the way back home

G
 Everybody on the trеadmill, runnin'

D
 Under the billboards, out of the hеat

                     Em        G/B    Cadd9
Somebody's darling's on the street tonight

       Cadd9
Oh, I can't stop runnin'

G
 I see the whole town fall

D
 I people-watch on the way back home

                       Em       D     Cadd9    G
I people-watch on the way back home
[Post-Chorus]

I people-watch on the way back home

 I people-watch on the way back home

                       Em       G/B
I people-watch on the way back home
[Bridge]
G          Am7         Cadd9
Above the rain-soaked Garden of Remembrance

       G                  Am7             Cadd9
Kittiwakes etched your initials in the sky

       G                     Am7             Cadd9
Oh, I fear for this crippled island and the turmoil of the times

          D
And I'll hold you in my heart till the day I die

Em    G
Oh
[Chorus]
Cadd9
 I people-watch on the way back home

G
 Everybody on the trеadmill, runnin'

D
 Under the billboards, out of the hеat

                     Em        G/B    Cadd9
Somebody's darling's on the street tonight

       Cadd9
Oh, I can't stop runnin'

G
 I see the whole town fall

D
 I people-watch on the way back home

                       Em       D    Cadd9    G
I people-watch on the way back home
[Post-Chorus]
D
 I people-watch on the way back home

                       Em       G/B    Cadd9    G
I people-watch on the way back home

D
 I people-watch on the way back home

                       G        D
I people-watch on the way back home
