[Verse 1]
[D]I[A][G][D][A][Asus4][A]
[Bm][A][G][D][A][Asus4]
[A]peo[D]ple[A]- w[G]atch on the way back home
Envious of the glimmer [D]of hope
[A]Gives me a break from feeling alone
Gives me a moment [Bm]out [A]of the e[G]go
Used to feel so invincible
I used to feel there was a
world [D]worth dreamin' of
[A]Back in the Gasworks,
screamin' the song
Just the beauty of [Bm]youth would
[A]quell my [G]aching heart
Oh, I feel so [D]dark re[A]memberin'
[Asus4][A][Bm][A]
[G]Oh, my heart,
I feel so [D]dark remem[A]berin'
[Asus4][A]

[Verse 2]
[G]I people- watch on the way
back [D]home
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin'
[A]Under the billboards,
out of the heat
Somebody's darling's
[Bm]on the s[D]treet toni[G]ght
Oh, I can't stop [D]runnin'
I see the whole town fall
[A]I people- watch on the way back home
I people- watch on [D]the way back home
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][Asus4][A][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[G]I came back home after seven years
Wide awake, tracing tracks of [D]her tears
[A]Cornered the nurse to get the gist of it
I promised her I'd get her [Bm]out
[A]of [G]the care home
The place was fallin' to bits
Understaffed and overruled
by [D]callous hand[A]s
The poor nurse was around the clock
And the beauty of [Bm]youth had
[A]left my [G]breaking heart
But it wasn't [D]hard when you love
[A]someone[D][A][Bm]
[A]Oh, I [G]stayed all night 'til
you left this [D]life
'Cause [A]that's just love
[Asus4][A]

[Verse 4]
[G]I people- watch on the way
back [D]home
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin'
[A]Under the billboards,
out of the heat
Somebody's darling's
[Bm]on the s[D]treet toni[G]ght
Oh, I can't stop [D]runnin'
I see the whole town fall
[A]I people- watch on the way back home
I people- watch on the [Bm]way
back [A]home

[A]I people- watch on the way back home

[Verse 6]
[D]Above the [Em]rain- soaked
[G]Garden of Remembrance
[A]Kitti[D]wakes etched your ini
[Em]tials in the [G]sky
Oh, [D]I fear for this crippled is[Em]land
And the tur[G]moil of the times
And I'll [A]hold you in my
heart 'til the day I die
[D]Oh[A]

[Verse 7]
[G]I people- watch on the way
back [D]home
Everybody on the treadmill, runnin'

out of the heat
Somebody's darling's
[Bm]on the s[D]treet toni[G]ght
Oh, I can't stop [D]runnin'
I see the whole town fall
[A]I people- watch on the way back home
I people- watch on the [D]way
