Verse 1
[Em]I get
lost, [Em]I get lost, [Em]I get lost in [D]crowds:
if I [D]can,
I re[Bm]main in[A]visible
[Em]to the
hungry [D]mouths. I [D]stay, I [Bm]stay una[Em]pproachable.
[Em]I wear
the [D]landscape, of the [D]urban, of the [Bm]urban cham[A7]eleon.
[Em]Scarred
by at[D]tention and [F#m]quietly addic[Bm]ted to innocence
[Em]
[Em]At starry, [Em]at starry, [Em]at starry [D]parties
where,
a[D]mongst the [Bm]rich and the [A]famous
[Em]I’m stuck
for [D]words: or [D]worse, I [Bm]blather with the [Em]best of them.
[Em]I see
their [D]eyes glaze and they [D]look, they [Bm]look for the [A7]drinks
tray.[bass notes a g f#]
[Em]Something
in the [D]drift of my [F#m]conversation [Bm]bothers them.
[C]So who am
[Bb]I? Come on; [Bb]ask me, [Dm] I [C]dare [C]you.
[C]So who am
[Bb]I? C’mon [Bb]question me, [Dm]if you [C]care [C]to.
[C]And why
not [Bb]try to in[Bb]terrogate this ap[Dm]par[C]it[C]ion?
[C]I melt
a[Bb]way to get [Bb]lost in this quaint [Dm]con[C]dit[C]ion.
[C Eb Dm Gm /

[Am C Bm Em /
/ /]
[Em]
[Em]In scary, [Em]in scary, [Em]in scary [D]airports
in
[D]concourses [Bm]o [A]overfilled,
[Em]I am
de[D]tached in [D]serious [Bm]obser[Em]vation.
[Em]As a
passen[D]ger I be[D]come, I be[Bm]come un-[A7]tethered when [a g f#]
[Em]I get
lost in [D]clouds: at [F#m]home with my own [Bm]quiet company
[C]So who am
[Bb]I? Come on; [Bb]ask me, [Dm] I [C]dare [C]you.
[C]So who am
[Bb]I? C’mon [Bb]question me, [Dm]if you [C]care [C]to.
[C]And why
not [Bb]try to in[Bb]terrogate this ap[Dm]par[C]it[C]ion?
