F              F                   Dm        C
The sidewalk's cracked and dirty face
   Bb              A          Dm
Is looking up from underneath my feet
Gm             C                F
Staring at the hollow broken boy
               F               Dm    C    Bb
Who's lost and wandering these...    city streets
    A            Dm            Gm
And everynight I wander here alone The night
     C
That we won't meet I...

[Chorus]
F                     Bb
Wonder when, when I'll
        C         Dm
Finally understand
                            Bb
Why time can wash away love like
       C
It was made of sand and it's
F                 Bb
Wonderful the pain
     C              Dm
That comes with regret
                              C
Sometimes you have to see the beauty
                     F
In all of this loneliness

[Verse 2]
F                                  Dm   C
The street lights flicker and they fade
     Bb             A              Dm
Like every good intention that I've had
    Gm               C                F
And every face that passes through my mind
                       Dm     C        Bb
I'll be struggling with these same old dreams
         A                  C
'Til the concrete turns to sand
        Gm               C
And I'm swept up by the waves   I...

[Chorus]
F                     Bb
Wonder when, when I'll
        C         Dm
Finally understand
                            Bb
Why time can wash away love like
       C
It was made of sand and it's
F                 Bb
Wonderful the pain
           C          Dm
That comes with regret
                              C
Sometimes you have to see the beauty
                     F
In all of this loneliness

[Bridge]
        Bb           C                   F
There's only so many chances that you'll get to do
    A                   Bb
Something that's this important
        C                F
Now I'd rather sink than swim
Bb                C                 A
Sewer grates keep spitting out their steam
        C              Bb          C
Telling all the broken dreams I've flushed away...

F             Bb        C         Dm
Wonder wheeeeeennn, when I'll bow out
        Bb              C
wash me away like I was made of sand and it's...
F            Bb         C
Wonderfuuuuuuullll oh oh  it's
