Em Am G D/F#

[Verse 1]
Em
 I've had a long day of it
Am
Walking on hands in pockets
G                         D/F#
Wishing on stars that I can't see
Em                             Am
 I watch all you city dreamers, left hometown believers
G                               B
Looking down at the ground like me


[Pre-Chorus]
         C              C                 G D
We're all lonely people, lonely people, alone
C               C                          G            D
Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows


[Chorus]
   Em             G
But I'm lighting matches
D/F#       C             Em              G
Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
D/F#         C             Em          G
 Stay in the dark another day (I wanna know)
D/F#     C              Em        G
 Will it all get better (are we alone?)
D/F#       C           Em
 Or are we lost together
         G            D/F#
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
       C             Em
Are we lost together
         G            D/F#
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
       C
Are we lost together


[Verse 2]
Em                   Am
 So I lift my eyes up, let conversation light up
G                                  D/F#
 It feels like I've known you for time
        Em
Tell me which piece of you is missing
Am
We all got parts need fixing
G                              B
It's just the catch of being alive


[Pre-Chorus]
         C              C                 G D
We're all lonely people, lonely people, alone
C               C                          G            D
Going in circles, going wherever the wind blows and it blows


[Chorus]
   Em             G
But I'm lighting matches
D/F#       C             Em              G
Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
D/F#         C             Em          G
 Stay in the dark another day (I wanna know)
D/F#     C              Em        G
 Will it all get better (are we alone?)
D/F#       C           Em
 Or are we lost together
         G            D/F#
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
       C             Em
Are we lost together
         G            D/F#
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
       C
Are we lost together


[Bridge]
C                         D
 And I-I-I-I won't stand down
                               C
And I-I-I-I won't let it burn down
                             C
Can't make this puzzle with a piece that doesn't fit
B7
 There must be something more than this


[Chorus]
   Em             G
But I'm lighting matches
D/F#       C             Em              G
Making a shelter for a flame til' fire catches
D/F#         C             Em          G
 Stay in the dark another day (I wanna know)
D/F#     C              Em        G
 Will it all get better (are we alone?)
D/F#       C           Em
 Or are we lost together
         G            D/F#
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
       C             Em
Are we lost together
         G            D/F#
Nah-nana-nah-nah-nana-nah
       C
Are we lost together
