[verse]
Bm G D
Swallow your fear and take the escalator down
Bm G D
I’ll still be here watching if you turn around
Bm G D
The cogs and gears are spinning just beneath the ground
G
You don’t have to say a thing
Em7 D
This is where we belong
G
There’s no point fighting
Em7 D
The current’s too strong.
[verse]
Bm G D
Your shirt’s too big and the back of your neck is pale
Bm G D
You raise your hand up to the escalator rail
Bm G D
My lungs are full, but I don’t want to exhale
G Em7 D
It’s a thought that’s as jarring as the homeroom bells
G Em7 D
The next time you see me, I might be someone else
G Em7 D G
It’s a thought that’s as jarring as the morning bells
G Em7 D
The next time you see me, I might be someone else.
[chorus]
Em A7/C# G D
I’ve been forgetting all about you
Em A7/C# G D
I’ve been packing and you’ve had nothing to do
Em A7/C# G Bm G A D
I’m so sorry, I guess what they say is true.
[verse]
Bm G D
I catch my reflection in the freshly polished floor
Bm G D
I can hear the shoppers going in and out of stores
Bm G D
And I see you drift away like a bottle from a shore
G Em7 D
It's a thoughts that's a jarring as the homeroom bells
G Em7 D
The next time you see me, I might be someone else
G Em7 D
Like a train full of horses on a rusted old track
G Em7 D
Life’s full of forces that we can’t hold back
[chorus]
Em A7/C# G D
I’ve been forgetting all about you
Em A7/C# G D
I’ve been packing and you’ve had nothing to do
Em A7/C# G Bm G A D
I’m so sorry, I guess what they say is true.

[verse]
G Em7 D
It’s a thought that’s as jarring as the homeroom bells
G Em7 D
The next time you see me, I might be someone else
