1. In waves of people you can lose your feet
   G                              G/C
   You’ve got to stay hard to the ground
   G                      G/C
   It gets so easy now to lose your way
   G                        G/C
   When you’re ever outward bound
   C/F                          C/D
   A church bell ringing in the fading light
   C/F                              C/D
   Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
   F/G                          F/C
   The ghost of yester-years is touching you
   C/F                       G/D
   And as sure as god you’ll fall
   
    G         G/C G/A F/D
R1: And I see you
    G         G/C G/A F/D
    And I see me
    G        G/C G/A F/D
    I see it all
    G           G/C G/A F/D
    Like it used to be

C/F  C/D  C/F  C/D

   C/F                         C/D
2. And all the reasons why you started out
   C/F                          C/D
   They hit you hard with every bell
   F/G                       F/C
   The choir practice in the empty hall
   C/F               C/D
   Is a sound you know so well
   C/F                             C/D
   Like something lost inside your overcoat
   C/F                     C/D
   You find it later by mistake
   F/G                        F/C
   You lost it all a thousand years ago
   C/F               G/D
   And you pray it’s not too late

R2: And I see you
    And I see me
    I see it all like a diary

R1: And I see you...

3. I’m gonna write it in a diary
   Now I remember everything
   Yeah I remember how it used to be
   With every note that choir boy sings

R2: And I see you...
