G#m                  G#m6
Looking for someone,
  G#m7              B
I guess I'm doing that
F#
Trying to find a mem'ry in a dark room
Dirty man, you're looking like a Buddha
  G#m              G#
I know you well - yeah

Keep on a straight line,
I don't believe I can
Trying to find a needle in a haystack
Chilly wind you're piercing like a dagger
It hurts me so - yeah

Chorus:
G#                 C#    F#
Nobody needs to discover me
F#        C#
I'm back again

E                                  A
You see the sunlight through the trees
to keep you warm
G#m                     C#m
In peaceful shades of green
B
Yet in the darkness of my mind
F#m                   G#
Damascus wasn't far behind

Lost in a subway,
I guess I'm losing time.
There's a man looking at a magazine
You're such a fool, your mumbo-jumbo
Never tells me anything - yeah

Chorus:
Nobody needs to discover me
I'm back again

You feel the ashes from the fire that
kept you warm
its comfort disappears
And still the only friend I know
Will never tell me where I go

G#m
Looking for someone
D                            E
And now I've found myself a name
F#m   Bm   Em
Come away, leave me
C           D           Em
All that I have I will give
Em         D
Leave me, leave me
Am         Bm         Em
All that I am I will give
