F#                              B
As I walk these narrow streets
                                           F#
Where a million passin feet have trod before me *
F#
With my guitar in my hand
      B                   F#
Suddenly I realize nobody knows me *

B
Where yesterday the multitude
                                     F#
Screamed and cried my name out for a song *
F#
Today the streets are empty
B                            F#
And the crowds have all gone home **

F#
I pass a million houses
B                              B
But there is no place that I belong *
F#
All I knew to give you
    B                      F#
Was song after song after song *

All the truths I tried to tell you
Were as distant to you as the moon
Born 200 years too late
And 200 years too soon

I'm a child of this age
Locked into the pages of your book
And when I am but dust and clay
And all the children stop to take a look

Will they marvel at the miracles I did perform
And the heights I did aspire
Or will they tear out the pages of the book
To light a fire

With the rain on my face
There is no place that I belong
Did you forget this fucking singer so soon?
And did you forget my song?
