          G                              D
Did you know it was all going to go so wrong for you
             G                             D
And did you see it was all going to be so right for me
F#m Em   D  C#m  Bm   A
Why did we tell you then
F#m Em   D           C#m   Bm    A
You were always the golden boy then
F#m       Em         D         G             D
And that youd never lose that light in your eyes

Hey you
Did you ever realize what you’d become?
And did you see
That it wasn’t only me you were running from?
Did you know all the time but it
Never bothered you anyway?
Leading the blind while I stared out
The steel in your eyes

                G
The rain fell slow,
                            D
down on all the roofs of uncertainty
              G
I thought of you and the years
                           D
and all the sadness fell away from me
              G
And did you know.

F#m       Em                D         G             D
I never thought that you'd lose that light in your eyes
