Intro:

N.C.  Em C Em C

Verse 1:
  C                   Em
Someone told me they found you
  Em                  C
Sleepwalking through Babylon
 C                   Em
You told me that you don't have much
 Em                          C
But you still got more than anyone
 C                       Em
You love the words that speak to you
Em                C
And every line reminds you of
 C                   Em
An old friend or a crippled love
   Em                 C (keep strumming)
A time when you were young

Chorus:
 C       G
And for years they laughed at you
               D
But they don't got nothing to lose
     C    D    Em  Am   G
No, they just talk and stare


Post-Chorus:
 C                      Em
And I don't care about them

Em C Em C

Verse 2:
 C                  Em
Well I knew it was time to go
Em                 C
So things sway my way for once
 C             Em           Em           C
Caught in the illusion of beautiful and numb
 C                     Em
And this morning they called for you
 Em                C
And that's when I felt the worst
 C                Em                                    C
But the moment I wrote it down was the moment I lived forever


Chorus:
 C       G
And for years they laughed at you
               D
But they don't got nothing to lose
     C    D    Em  Am   G
No, they just talk and stare


Post-Chorus:
G                       C
And I don't care about them
Em                            C
The moments I write down are forever
                   G        D    C
And I don't care about them, oooooo
C                    G          C              G
The moments I write down, the moments I write down


Bridge:

(let ring at the end of each line)

G                          Em
Someone told me they found you
Em            C
Sitting in a parking lot
 C                  Em
Thinking 'bout the things you've done
Em                  C
Back when you were young
C                        Em
You love the words that speak to you
Em                  C
And every song reminds you of
C                    Em
An old friend or a crippled love
Em                      C
Way back when you were young


Chorus:
C           G                 D
And I know they don't dream about
     Em         C     D
No, they don't dream about
G           D     Em    C
They don't dream about nothing, oh
 C    D   Em   Am   G
They just talk and stare


Post-Chorus:
G                       C
And I don't care about them
Em                            C
The moments I write down are forever
                  G
And I don't care about
C                    G
The moments I write down
C                    G
The moments I write down


Outro:
   C        Em       D           C
I heard you made it through the wreckage
   C         Em        D         C
I knew you'd do it, I knew you'd do it
Em              C            Em
I heard you're happy, living easy
 C                  Em                  D      C
Like you've always wanted, like you've always wanted
