so she sets out on another misadventure just to find

she's another two years older and
C
she's three more steps behind

G D
does anybody hear her can any body see
Em C
or does anybody even know she's going down today

searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
G D
does anybody hear her can anybody see

for shelter and affection
C
that she never found at home

she is searching

momentary lapse of reason
C
and she gives herself away
