Intro: G G/C G G/C 
 
 
G G/C 
In waves of people you can lose your feet 
G G/C 
You’ve got to stay hard to the ground 
G G/C 
It gets so easy now to lose your way 
G G/C 
When you’re ever outward bound 
C/F C/D 
A church bell ringing in the fading light 
C/F C/D 
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall 
F/G F/C 
The ghost of yester-years is touching you 
C/F G/D 
And as sure as god you’ll fall 
 
 
G G/C G/A F/D 
And I see you 
G G/C G/A F/D 
And I see me 
G G/C G/A F/D 
I see it all 
G G/C G/A F/D 
Like it used to be 
 
C/F C/D C/F C/D 
 
C/F C/D 
And all the reasons why you started out 
C/F C/D 
They hit you hard with every bell 
F/G F/C 
The choir practice in the empty hall 
C/F C/D 
Is a sound you know so well 
C/F C/D 
Like something lost inside your overcoat 
C/F C/D 
You find it later by mistake 
F/G F/C 
You lost it all a thousand years ago 
C/F G/D 
And you pray it’s not too late 
 
 
And I see you 
And I see me 
I see it all like a diary 
 
And I see you 
And I see me 
I see it all like it used to be 
 
I’m gonna write it in a diary 
Now I remember everything 
Yeah I remember how it used to be 
With every note that choir boy sings 
 
And I see you 
And I see me 
I see it all like a diary
