C#
Can you see me,
          G#m
Up on the building,
                 F#
from down on the pavement,
              C#
or out in the crowd,

C#
can you see me,
                         G#
Through the glare of the lamp post,
              B                       C#
Co's I am walking a tight rope, into the moon,

Chorus:
D#m      B        F#    C#
I don't wanna feel, so different
    D#m      B      F#     C#
But I don't wanna be Insignificant,
    D#m           B              F#
And I don't know how to see the same
        G#m       C#
things different now,

Oh, can you see me?
I am one in a million
I am Icarus falling out of the sun

Could you see me fall
in the light of spotlights
And jackknife through night as black as a bedroom
And white as a lie?

Chorus:
I don’t want to feel so different
But I don’t want to be insignificant
And I don’t know how to see the same things
different now

B
Diving through the dark,
          D#m
While the night turns blue,
G#
Hey I'm aware of you're intentions,
B                              C#
Co's I wear my intentions, so clear

If you see me wading through water
Come drown in the river right
in front of the world

You can wash your face and hands
in the stream of my anger
It’s as bright as white paper
And as dark as a girl

Chorus:
I don’t want to feel so different
But I don’t want to be insignificant
And I don’t know how to see the same
things different now

I don’t want to feel so different
But I don’t want to be insignificant
And I don’t know how to see the same
things different now
