[Verse 1]
D    C#m              G       A
I do relate to you in so many ways

D               C#m                   E                  A
But I didn't go through what you must have in those early days

D             A                E          F#m
You had to be strong at such a very young age

      D       E      A
A new life on Ilima Lane
[Chorus]
             D            C
So won't you listen to me now

A   G             A
something I never told you

    G            D
And I'm about to try

                C                           E
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
[Verse 2]
D              C#m               G         A
You moved back in with us in the fall of '82

D               C#m                 E                A
I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through

D                  A               E           F#m
You told me that a downturn would eventually improve

                D          E           A
And you were right, so I'm thanking you
[Chorus]
             D            C
So won't you listen to me now

A   G             A
something I never told you

    G            D
And I'm about to try

                C                           E     A
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding

A         E   A
Footholds eroding
[Bridge 1]
        D     A       E
Had you never been my friend

D          A  D              A
I wouldn't be quite what you see

D          A            E
I wouldn't be the man I am
[Trumpet Solo] | D C#m | G A | | D C#m | E A | | D A | E F#m | | D E | A | [Bridge 2] | D | A | D | A | D |
A             D
Sister you've known me

          A
Lost in a strange world

            D
What has it shown me

                 A
What has it gone through

               D
Sister you've known me

               A
Been lost in a strange world

           D
But has it shown me

                 A
What has it gone through
[Verse 3]
D       C#m              G      A
October chill in that old dusty town

D    C#m             E              A
 Halloween came, I was still feeling down

D            A                        E               F#m
Mama, lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round?

      D     E           F#m
Your boy is losing count

      D       E              A
Maybe try the lost and found
