Verse 1
Cadd9 
I am just a stranger, in a promised land
I am only learning the game
Bb/C 
with rules I don't understand
Cadd9 
Going round in circles, I've been 'round before
I am lost in so many ways
Bb/C 
I can walk no more
Cadd9 
I can walk no more

Verse 2

Cadd9

I am just a drifter on an open sea

But no matter how much I try,

Bb/C

the tide will not turn for me

Cadd9

Going round in circles, till I reach the shore

I am blown by so many winds

Bb/C

I can take no more

Cadd9

I can take no more

I am just a dreamer, when I close my eyes
I can fly so close to the sun,

Going round in circles, in a silent sky
I am lost for so many words
Bb/C 
I can not say why
Cadd9 
I can not say why

It makes no sense at all
