[Intro]
C Em F C
F Am Am/G Am/F# F
C Em F C
F Am G
[Verse 1]
C Em
It's the same house we lived in
F C
in 1963
F Am Am/G
You were only 22
Am/F# F
Seemed so much older to me
C Em
New leaves cast their shadows,
F C
The skyline's been redrawn,
F Am
The same song's swinging on the radio,
G
Bringing the good news home
[Chorus]
F C
This loneliness is
F
hit and miss, son
Am Am/G Am/F#
I was where I'd rather be
F
Do you feel the same as me
C C/B Am Am/G Am/F#
when you're alone?
[Verse 2]
C Em
I look out on the lights
F C
Where you used to paint the town
F Am Am/G
One too many colours run into one another
Am/F# F
Going 'round and 'round
C Em
And no one came looking
F C
in the cruel streetlight
F Am
Is it flattering anybody
G
'bout their chances in the night?
[Chorus]
F C
This loneliness is
F
hit and miss, son
Am Am/G Am/F#
I was where I'd rather be
F
Do you feel the same as me
C C/B Am Am/G Am/F#
when you're alone?
[Interlude]
C C/B Am Am/G Am/F# x2
[Verse 3]
C Em
It's the same house we lived in
F C
in 1963
F Am Am/G
You were only 22
Am/F# F
Much too young, it seems
C Em
One day, you're looking out
F C
One day, you look behind
F Am
Once it was all before you
G
Now it's only in your mind
[Chorus]
F C
This loneliness is
F
hit and miss, son
Am Am/G Am/F#
I was where I'd rather be
F
Do you feel the same as me
C C/B Am Am/G Am/F#
when you're alone?
