Em7
I was talking
                  C
I was talking to myself
Somebody else
             Em7
Talk, talk, talking
                   C
I couldn't hear a word
A word you said
            F
He was my brother
                    G
I said there was no other
Way out of here
        F
Be my brother
 A
Gotta get out
Gotta get out

I was walking
I was walking into walls
I'm back again
I just keep walking
I walk into a window
To see myself
And my reflection
When I thought about it
My direction
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

No one, no one is blinder
Than he who will not see
No one, no one is blinder
Than me

I was talking
I was talking in my sleep
I can't stop talk, talk, talking
I'm talking to you
It's up to you
Be my brother
There is another way out of here
Be my brother
Gotta get out
Gotta get out
Gotta get out of here
