In a room above a busy street the echoes of a life
C               C/F           C               C/F

The fragments and the accidents separated by incidents
C                 C/F           C            C/F

Listened to by the walls     We share the same spaces
F                  G         F                 G

Repeated in the corridors    Performing the same movements
F               G            F                   G

Storey to storey     Building to building     Street to street
C                    C/F                      C

We pass each other

Listened to by the walls     We share the same spaces

Repeated in the corridors    Performing the same movements

The nature of your tragedy is chained around your neck
C                  C/F        C                   C/F

Do you lead or are you led   Are U sure that you don't care
C              C/F                 F/G       F         D2

There are reasons here to give your life and follow in your way
          F/G     F       C         C/F      C              C/F

The passion lives to keep your faith though all are different all are great
C                 C/F                C                        C/F

Climbing as we fall          We dare to hold on to our fate
F              G             F                         G

And steal away our destiny   To catch ourselves with quiet grace
F                  G         F                             G

C                    C/F                      C

We pass each other on the stairs
