Life was easy yester year, oh yeah
F
I didn't have to move
       G#
But I never even got to know you
Cm                    D#
So baby carry on in charge
              A#                 F
Because im a full grown lonely cat
In the world
         G#                Cm
Without you beating by myside

Chorus:
  G#                         F
Out of the dark get your uncorrupted air
  G#                          F
And into the light you, you need not prepare
            D#                   A#
Because I know you'll keep on travelling
Cm                           F
Till you make your way back home
G#
I'll try to take care of your home

Patch my life up with cellotape
It doesn't feel so safe
But all the same, I don't have to choose
How sad baby, is that?
Because I'm a full grown lonely cat in the world
Without you beating by my side

And out of the dark get your uncorrupted air
And into the light, you, you need not prepare
Because I know you'll keep on traveling
'til you find your way back home
I'll try to take care of your home
