 A                       F#m
John met me down at the boulevard
  A                         F#m
Cry on his shoulder 'cause life is hard
     D                     E
The waves came in over my head
  A                     F#m
What you been up to my baby?
 A                            F#m
Haven't seen you 'round here lately
D                        E            Fdim
All of the guys tell me lies but you don't
       F#m             C#/F
You just crack another beer
        A                      D#m7-5
And pretend that you're still here

Chorus:
D         E  Fdim   F#m  C#m
This is how to  disappear
         D  E        A
This is how to disappear

Joe met me down at the training yard
Cuts on his face 'cause he fought too hard
I know he's in over his head
But I love that man like nobody can
He moves mountains and pounds them to ground again
I watched the guys getting high as they fight
For the things that they hold dear
To forget the things they fear

Chorus

Now it's been years since I left New York
I've got a kid and two cats in the yard
The California sun and the movie stars
I watch the skies getting light as I write
As I think about those years
As I whisper in your ear

I'm always going to be right here
No one's going anywhere
