Intro: Bm D G G Em Bm A
Verse:
Bm D G
I'm half remembered, halfway across the world,
G
Twice removed from my second home,
Em Bm
a shadow of a ghost in an old haunt,
A
With a lease on life 'cause I can't afford to own,
Bm D
When being young starts getting old,
G G
a new place saves face or so I'm told,
Em
I'll be the new kid on an old block,
Bm A
a chalk outline on a playground black top.
Chorus:
Bm D
I'm just a moment so don't let me pass you by,
G A
We could be a story in the morning but we'll be a legend tonight,
Bm D
I'm just a moment so don't let me pass you by,
G A
And they can speak our names in a dead language 'cause you and I,
Bm
We're alive, but just for a moment.
Verse:
Bm D
I'm twice the man that I thought I was yesterday,
G G
Half the time I'm a world away,
Em Bm
a flicker of a soul casting silhouettes,
A
On the face of a town that could not get me to stay,
Bm
When the spark's gone,
D G G
Former lovers just looking for a bus to throw me under,
Em
I'll be the new kid on an old block,
Bm A
a chalk outline on a playground black top.
Chorus:
Bm D
I'm just a moment so don't let me pass you by,
G A
We could be a story in the morning but we'll be a legend tonight,
Bm D
I'm just a moment so don't let me pass you by,
G A
And they can speak our names in a dead language 'cause you and I,
G
We're alive, but just for a moment,
A G A
Just for a moment.
