Tom: D
A D G
As I wait in silence for the sound of an oncoming train,
Bm A G
I haven't been that way for years.
A
Will I fall down on my knees?
D G
And will the air kiss me like home?
Bm A
I've forgotten how that feels.
[Chorus]
G D
No one ever plans to grow up and be a junkie.
G D
No one ever plans to grow up and be a thief.
G A Bm
I don't know what it's like to be you, darling.
G A D
You don't know what it's like to be me.
[Verse 2]
G A
All the years have fallen by now
D G Bm A G
Would you recognize me if I stood in rags before you?
A D G
Only chaff against the wind, shaking here & his mind fills with lace.
(Bm) A
And every day is new.
[Chorus]
G D
No one ever plans to turn their life down a dark street.
G D
We're all looking for a way to find the things we lose.
G A Bm
You don't know what it's like to be me, darling.
G A Bm
I don't know what it's like to be you.
[Chorus]
G D
No one ever plans to grow up and be a junkie.
G D
No one ever plans to grow up and be a thief.
G (A) D
Don't we all need someone to hold onto?
G (A) D
(Oh and) Don't we all need something to believe?
G A Bm
I don't know what it's like to be you, darling.
G A D
You don't know what it's like to be me.
[Outro]
G A Bm
I don't know what it's like to be you, darling.
G A D
You don't know what it's like to be me.
