B G#m C#m7 E

Verse:
G#             G#m
Sorry that I’m crying
  E                     B                    G#m
A lady on the train had hands that look like grandma’s
        E
Haven’t been home in a while
B                G#m
Sometimes I just wonder
                    E
Where I left all my pieces
   F#         B                                            E
My scarf’s in Connor’s car and my heart’s wherever you are tonight

                F#
A music box and I’m the dancer
B              D#m
Spinning round without an answer
E            F#               G#m7
Singing to a song that no one hears
C#m7          E           B G#m C#m7 E
Trying not to waste these years

B G#m C#m7 E

B           G#m7
I wish that I was just
C#m7            E
Small enough to carry when
    B               G#m7
I’m sleeping in the van on
        C#m7             E
Another endless day long drive
E            G#m7
When I was a kid I’d
C#m7          E
Wake up in my dad’s arms
     B          F#      G#m7              C#m7              E
He’s strong and I’m too little to know it could be the last time

                F#
A music box and I’m the dancer
B              D#m
Spinning round without an answer
E            F#               G#m7
Singing to a song that no one hears
C#m7   B      E           B G#m C#m7 E
Trying not to waste these years

B
When I’m
G#m7  C#m7
Old I know I’m
E            B
Gonna wish I
       G#m7
Could be
    C#m7
Playing tonight
E              B
Just one more time
       G#m7
When I
       C#m7    E
Die I’ll know I
               B
Spent all my life
     G#m7
Making
          C#m7
Use of my light

  B
I know I’ll never buy a

House with all my pennies, but

At least I went to Paris
           E              B
And know I wholeheartedly tried

  E             F#
A music box and I’m the dancer
B              D#7
Spinning round without an answer
E            F#               G#m7
Singing to a song that no one hears

    E                  F#
The days are just like wild horses
    B           D#m7
And even when I try to forge them
        E              F#            G#m7
They’re always running far away from here
     C#m7          E           G#m    E B
Just trying not to waste these years
