A C#dim/G
He went to visit an old, old friend
D G/D D
And it was long, long overdue
A C#dim/G
And though they stayed up very late
D G/D D
They never talked out of turn or tune
A C#dim/G
And every time they'd say goodbye
D G/D D
Well he'd just stay another while
A C#dim/G
They started from a distant place
D G/D D
And were so happy face to face
D
A C#dim/G
The one who left wanted everything
D G/D D
The one who stayed never wanted more
A C#dim/G
It's not your choice, it's how you're built
D G/D D
It's in a blueprint of your soul
A C#dim/G
The one who left, he dropped his smile
D G/D D
And they sat quiet for a while
A C#dim/G
Then the one who stayed began to speak
D G/D D
And in his words, he answered why
D Dmaj7
I'm just another drop in the bucket
D D/C# Bmin
I'm just another song on a jukebox
A G
I'm just another face in the crowd
G A D
Another fish in the sea
D Dmaj7
Something to being one of the many
D D/C# Bmin
Something to being one in the masses
A G
Something to being surrounded by others and not
A D
alone by yourself
E7/G# E7/B E7/D E7/E
I never wanted the bright lights and my
A G D/F# D/F# A7/E D
eyes are much too quiet
E7/G# E7/B E7
I never wanted them pointing their fingers at
A G D/F# A7/E
me oh no, but
D Dmaj7
Something to being one of the many
D D/C# Bmin
Something to being one in the masses
A G
Something to being surrounded by others and not
A D
alone by yourself
A C#dim/G
The one who left he knew it then
D G/D D
And he would never doubt again
A C#dim/G
He loved this life, he loved his friend
D G/D D
But he'd keep running 'til the end
A C#dim/G
All words they said hovered above
D G/D D
All of the pain, all of the love
A C#dim/G
They hugged goodbye and in his room
D G/D D
he sang real quiet to the moon
D Dmaj7
Something to being one of the many
D D/C# Bmin
who get to sing the songs on the jukebox
A G
Who get to stay awake all night and dream
A D
half of the day
D Dmaj7
Something to waking up in a new town
D D/C# Bmin
Something to singing songs to a new crowd
A G
Something to being surrounded by others and not
A D
alone by yourself
E7/G# E7/B E7/D E7/E
I never wanted the bright lights and my
A G D/F# D/F# A7/E D
eyes are much too quiet
E7/G# E7/B E7
I never wanted them pointing their fingers at
A G D/F# A7/E
me oh no, but
D Dmaj7
Something to being one of the many
D D/C# Bmin
who get to sing the songs on the jukebox
A G
Who get to stay awake all night and dream
A D
half of the day
G A Bmin
Then wake up in a new town
A G A D
Just another face in the crowd
