 The city looks pretty when you been indoors
                       D MajorD
For 23 days I’ve ignored all your phone calls
  A augmentedA
And everyone’s waiting when you get back home
                        D MajorD
They don’t know where you been, why you gone so long
A augmentedA
Friends treat you like a stranger and
                          D MajorD
Strangers treat you like their best friend, oh well
A augmentedA
 Spare a thought for the ones that came before
                       D MajorD
All in a daze bending backwards to reach your goal

And heavenly prose ain’t enough good to fill that hole

Everyone’s soaked in animosity

You got a ways to go, you oughta be grateful
