Key: A

Introduction: A    D    G    D    G    D    

  A  
He went to visit an old, old friend
  D                                                    G              D  
And it was long, long overdue
A  
And though they stayed up very late
     D                                                              G                 D  
They never talked out of turn or tune
A                                                      A7  
And every time they'd say goodbye
D                                                      G              D  
Well he'd just stay another while
A  
They started from a distant place
D                                              G                 D  
And were so happy face to face
A  
The one who left wanted everything
D  
The one who stayed never wanted more
A  
It's not your choice, it's how you're built
D  
It's in a blueprint of your soul
A                                                    A7  
The one who left, he dropped his smile
D                            G              D  
And they sat quiet for a while
A                                                            A7  
Then the one who stayed began to speak
D                                                    G                    D  
And in his words, he answered why
D                                         Gm  
I'm just another drop in the bucket
D                                         Bm  
I'm just another song on a jukebox
A                                         G  
I'm just another face in the crowd
                     A                         D  
Another fish in the sea
D                                              Gm  
Something to being one of the many
D                                              Bm  
Something to being one in the masses
A                                              G  
Something to being surrounded by others
                          A                         D  
And not alone by yourself
Interlude
E                                                                                                    A                      D  
I never wanted the bright lights in my eyes, I'm much too quiet
E                                                                                                                      A  
I never wanted them pointing their fingers at me
        D      Em  
Oh no, but...
D                                              Gm  
Something to being one of the many
D                                              Bm  
Something to being one in the masses
A                                              G  
Something to being surrounded by others
                          A                      D  
And not alone by yourself
A  
The one who left he knew it then
D                                              G                    D  
And he would never doubt again
A  
He loved this life, he loved his friend
D  
But he'd keep running 'til the end
A  
All words they said hovered above
D                            G                                         D  
All of the pain, all of the love
A  
They hugged goodbye
                                             D                                              G              D  
And in his room, he sang real quiet to the moon
D                                              Gm  
Something to being one of the many
D                                                 Bm  
Who get to sing the songs on the jukebox
A                                         G  
Who get to stay awake all night
                          A                            D  
And dream half of the day
D                                                 Gm  
Something to waking up in a new town
D                                                    Bm  
Something to singing songs to a new crowd
A                                                         G  
Something to being surrounded by others
                          A                         D  
And not alone by yourself
Interlude
E                                                                                                    A                      D  
I never wanted the bright lights in my eyes, I'm much too quiet
E                                                                                                                         A  
I never wanted them pointing their fingers at me
Em  D      Em  
Oh no, but...
D                                              Gm  
Something to being one of the many
D                                                 Bm  
Who get to sing the songs on the jukebox
A                                            G  
Who get to stay awake all night
                          A                            D  
And dream half of the day
                          G                 A         Bm  
Then wake up in a new town
                G                            A              D  
Just another face in the crowd
