Verse 1
Em        G              D
     With progress comes problems
                  Em
With wisdom comes age
     G            D
With lessons come learning
                        Em
And pleasure comes with pain
        G             D
You can only have the sunshine

Verse 2
         Em
I took a walk
          G
It got me thinking
D                      
Left foot, right foot
Smiling, blinking
Em                   G
Breathe out, breathe in
        D
Somehow linking
   Em                     G
My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth
D                     
Lost and the found and the north to the south
        Em             G            D
And the corners to the circle in my mind
Chorus
Em         G             Bm
    We may find that the gate has been locked
      Em          G               Bm
When we come back down to what we really are
Em              G                  Bm
    Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost
        F                G             D
Is like trying to find a needle in the dark
[Insrumental]
Em      G      D  x2
Verse 3
Em     G              D
    My hands they are empty
             Em
But they are clean
    G            D   
I'm poor but I'm healthy
            Em
I'm halfway between
    G              D
The gutter and the skyline
Instrumental
F      G      D
Verse 4
            Em          G
So I took a walk to the land's end
D                                        Em 
  Thinking ‘bout an ex-girlfriend that I had
        G               D
And the pages that I've turned
       Em
And it seems to me
        G 
That we all love the chase
    D
But once we're caught we feel encased
  Em           G       
Behind bars of love and trust
  D
Uprooted by drunken lust
   F       G            D
By people, people just like us
          F       G            D
Yeah, and people, people just like us
Chorus
Em          G             Bm
    you may find that the gate has been locked
      Em          G               Bm
When we come back down to what we really are
Em               G                  Bm
     Retrace the footprints off the path that's been lost
        F                G             D
Is like trying to find a needle in the dark
Instrumental
Em     G     D  x4
Verse 5]
            Em          G      
So I took a walk to the station
D   
  Lost in my imagination
          Em          G             D
Having private conversations with myself
             Em
And I'm just stumbling ‘round
      G
And I wait for the sound
        D
Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down
Em                  G
People say I'm just bummin' around
    D
But I've had both my ears to the ground
Em      G      Bm
                  
           Em      G      Bm
To the ground   oh    yeah               
           Em          G      Bm
    To the ground       (oh no)
