Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Dsus4][Am][D][Am][D][Am]
[D][Dsus4][D]
[Dsus4][D]
Hey there, new [Dsus4]friend across the sea

[Verse 1]
[Dsus4]
If you figure things [D]out,
would you figure in me?
Wouldn't it be [Dsus4]a thing
To live somewhere quietly
where there's a breeze
And there's a reason for us to
[D]be

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][C][D]
[C][D]
I look at people here in [Dsus4]this city and

[Verse 2]
[D]
wonder if they're lonely
Or like me they're not content to live as things
are meant [Dsus4]to be[D][Dsus4]
[D]When were you hap[Dsus4]py?
And [D]how [C]long [D]has that been?

[Interlude 2]
[D][C]
[D][C][Dsus4][D]
Who speaks for them [Dsus4]and then again

[Verse 3]
Who speaks for [D]me?
[Dsus4]My vote was never counted,
So who upon this earth knows
what it [D]is that I believe?
We're all looking for answers where no
[Dsus4]an swers can be fou[D]nd[Dsus4]
Or is [D]that a concern of mine
Because I have [Dsus4]the time
To question my [D]ground?

[Interlude 3]
[D][C]
[D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4]

[Verse 4]
Hey [D]there, new [Dsus4]friend across the sea
If you [D]figure things out,
would you figure in me?
Hey there, [Dsus4]new friend
[D]across the sea
If you [Dsus4]figure things ou[D]t,
would you figure in [Dsus4]me?

[Interlude 4]
[D][Dsus4][D]
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 5]
I [D]find the more I think the harder it [Dsus4]is
for me [D]to [Dsus4]breathe[D][Dsus4][D]
When were [Dsus4]we happy?[D]
And how [C]long [D]has[Dsus4] that[D]

[Outro 1]
been?
[D][C][D]
[Dsus4][D]
[Am][D]
