Caught In The Crowd Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][F][C]
[C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 1]
There was a [C]guy at my [Am]school
when I was in high school
We'd [F]ride side by side
[C]in the morning on our bicycles
Never even spoken [Am]or faced each other
But [F]on the last hill [C]we'd race each other
When we reached the racks,
we'd [Am]each go our own way
I [F]wasn't in his [C]classes,
I didn't know his name
When we finally got to speak,
he [Am]just stared at his feet
And [F]mumbled a sen[C]tence

[Interlude 1]
that ended with James
[C][Am][F][C]

[Chorus 1]
[C]I was young and[Am] caught in the crowd
[F]I didn't know the[C]n what I know now
I was [Am]dumb and I was proud
And I'm [F]sor[C]ry
If I could go [Am]back, do it again
[F]I'd be someone[C] you could call friend
Please, [Am]please believe
That I'm [F]sor[C]ry

[Verse 2]
Well, he was [C]quite a big [Am]guy,
kinda shy and quiet
When the [F]kids called him weird,
he [C]didn't try to deny it
Every lunchtime he'd spend
[Am]walkin' by himself
'Round the [F]boundary of the grounds
[C]till he heard the bell
Well, one day I found [Am]him,
joined him on his walk
We were [F]silent for a while
un[C]til we started to talk
I told him my fami[Am]ly were fightin' in court
He said his [F]step-dad and him [C]always fought
We talked about [Am]music,
he was into punk
[F]Told me all the bands that [C]I liked were junk
I said I'd never heard the songs
the [Am]Sex Pistols sang
I [F]laughed back at him
[C]and then bell rang

[Interlude 2]
[C][Am][F][C]

[Chorus 2]
[C]I was young and[Am] caught in the crowd
[F]I didn't know the[C]n what I know now
I was [Am]dumb and I was proud
And I'm [F]sor[C]ry
If I could go [Am]back, do it again
[F]I'd be someone[C] you could call friend
Please, [Am]please believe
That I'm [F]sor[C]ry

[Interlude 3]

[C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 3]
It was [C]after school [Am]in the afternoon
The [F]corridors were crowded
[C]as we came out of the rooms
Three guys I knew
[Am]pushed him into the cement
[F]Threw away his bag
and [C]said he had no friends
He yelled that he did [Am]and he looked around
He [F]tried getting up
[C]but they pushed him on down
That's when he saw [Am]me,
called out my [F]name[C]
And I [C]turned my [Am]back
And just [F]walked [C]away
Yeah, I turned my [Am]back
And just [F]walked [C]away

[Chorus 3]
[C]I was young and[Am] caught in the crowd
[F]I didn't know the[C]n what I know now
I was [Am]dumb and I was proud
And I'm [F]sor[C]ry
If I could go [Am]back, do it again
[F]I'd be someone[C] you could call friend
Please, [Am]please believe
That I'm [F]sor[C]ry

[Outro 1]
[C][Am][F][C]
[C]Please, ple[Am]ase believe
That I'm [F]sor[C]ry
