πΈ Verse 1:
Am E7
Everybody says you're a lot like me
F C
But I don't know if I feel the same way
Am E7
You're not a jailer, but I'm not free
F C
I still hang on every word that you say
πΈ Verse 2:
Am E
I don't know what's you and what is me
F C
We're points along a line, but I don't see a boundary
F C
We are all punched out from the same old cast
F E Am Am Am Am
And we are all vessels, and we contain the past
πΈ Verse 3:
Am E7
So I stick around for the spring you see
F C
But then summer comes
I go free-ranging
Am E7
You can still be you
I can try to be me
F C
Is it me or just the world that's changing?
πΈ Verse 4:
Am E
My money's on you
I have no doubt
F C
Of all the things we worship, we are the most devout
F C
When we kneel at the altar of ourselves
F E Am Am Am Am
But today I would give my ragged self away

When you gonna call me?

When you gonna want me?

For the telephone to ring

Far away, you call me
