[G] [D] [C] [G] [D]

[G]I'm out again [D]on my own
[C]A reflection [G]in the chrome
[D]Of an [G]adding machine
[D]It's been [C]so long
[G]My mind is [D]drawing a blank
[G]Don't know if [D]I can go back
[C]But to live [G]out this dream
[D]It's just [G]my luck
[D]I call [C]you up
[G]I had to hear you [D]just to feel near you
[G]I know [D]it's not true
[C]But it's [G]been so long
[D]I know [G]it's wrong
[D]I know
[C]I don't need the horizon to [G]tell me where the sky ends
[D]Its a subtle landscape [G]where I come from
[D]I'm out again [C]on my own
[G]A reflection [D]in the chrome
[G]Of an [D]adding machine
[C]It's been [G]so long
[D]I call [G]you up
[D]I had to hear you [C]just to feel near you
[G]I know [D]it's not true
