[Intro 1]
[D][C][Em][D][Bm][D][A][Em][C]
[Em]Routine was the [D]theme He'd

[Verse 1]
[D]
[Bm]wake up,[A]
[D]wash and pour [A]himself into [D]uni[Gm]form[G][C]
[Em]Something he hadn't [D]imagined be[Bm]ing[D]
[A]As [D]the merging traffic [C]passed
He [Em]found himself [D]star[G] in[D]g do[Bm]wn
At [D]his own [A]han[D]ds[G]
[C]Not rem[Em]embering the cha[D]nge
[Bm]Not recalling the plan[D][A][D]
[G]Was it?[Em]...[E]

[Verse 2]
[E]He [D]was okay
[Em]But wonder[E]ing
About [D]wandering
Was it [E]age?
[Em]By c[D]onsequence?
Or was he [A]moved sleight
of [Em]hand?[G][Em]

[Verse 3]
Mondays [Em]were made [A]to fall[D][Bm]
Lost on a road [D]he [A]knew by heart
[G]It [C]was like a boo[Em]k he read in his[D] sleep,
[A]end[D]les[Bm]sly[D][A][D][G]
Sometimes he hid [Em]in his radio
[D]Watching others pull into their [Bm]homes
[D]While [A]he [G]was drifting
[Em][E]

[Verse 4]
On [D]a line
Of [Em]his own[E]
Off [D]the line
Off [E]the side
By [D]the by
As [A]dirt turned [Em]to sa[G]nd
As if [A]moved by sleight of [D]hand

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][A][G][C]
[Em][D][G][D][C][A][G][D][E][D][Em][G][C]
[Em]When he reached the shore [Bm]of[D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]his clip-on [D]world
world
[G]He [C]resurfaced to [Em]the n[D]orm
Organized his few [Bm]things,
his coat [D]and keys
[G]Any new realiza[C]tio[Em]ns wou[A]ld
[Em]have[D] to wait[Bm][D]
[A]Till he [D]had more [A]time[G]
[D]More time
[E]A

[Verse 6]
time [G]to dream[D]
To him[E]self
He waves [D]goodbye
To himsel[E]f
[D]I'll see you on the other [A]side
An[Em]other [G]man[A]

[Outro 1]
moved by sleight of hand
[A]
