F#m A D
I know a man who could never relax
F#m A D
Lonely in his bed, going over his tracks
F#m A D
I know a man at the break of dawn
E D
He goes on, he goes on, he goes on
F#m A D
I know a girl who keeps to herself
F#m A D
Pushed all her dreams to the back of a shelf
F#m A D
I know a girl and she's almost gone
E D
She goes on, she goes on, she goes on
[Chorus]
A Asus4 A/D# Asus4
