               C
Treading the ground
                Gm7
I once used to know
                 Dm
The people are strangers
               Am
The same as before
                    C
The streets look familiar
               Gm7
I remember the park
                  Dm
Where I buried my head
                                      Am
So deep in my hands all around me was dark

This here city
Is for the lonely ones
You won't find no angels
Selling maps to the lost
This here place
Is too small for two
It took one to realise
When dreaming’s this hard
It's not meant to come true

Chorus:
               C
So throw me a line
                    Gm7
Somebody out there help me
          Dm
I'm on my own
          Am
I'm on my own
            C
Throw me a line
                        Gm7
I'm afraid that I have come here
            Dm
To win you again
                Am
With trembling hands

Passing the days
Looking over the buildings
Time seemed to stop
While the millions keep moving
Now here I am
I'm a drop in your ocean
A noise in the crowd
Pushing through your halls of reason

Chorus

                    C Gm7    Dm Am
Hear me now make me whole... Whole
                    C Gm7    Dm Am
Hear me now make me whole... Whole

Chorus

With trembling hands

               C
There goes the ending
              Gm7
It left me in want
                 Dm
I've tried everything, dear
                  Am
I am done with my part
