[Em] I lost my shoes I lost my wife
I [G] lost my keys I lost my kite
And [Am] though I'm young at heart I'm so much [D] older

[Em] Subway eyes and banked up skies
And [G] violent towns and frozen pies
And [Am] all them football crowds who lost are [D] cold now

But [G] you're the same as you and [Em] I'm the same as me
And [G] hopefully we can find [G7] ways to let us be reasonably [C] fine
Reasonably [D] fine, at least to beat my drums in [G] time

[Em] Suddenly I've realised
That [G] I won't be here when I die
And [Am] life upon this plain is somehow [D] fleeting

[Em] Time and all it's precious wine
Is [G] somehow primed to make us whine
And [Am] fret even then when we should be [D] sleeping

But [G] you're the same as you and [Em] I'm the same as me
And [G] hopefully we can find [G7] ways to let us be reasonably [C] fine, 
Reasonably [D] fine, at least to play my pretty [G] chimes

[Em] Empty cries and hollow toots
And [G] all the signs that have no use
And [Am] fingers point accusingly are [D] sinning

[Em] Humourless hypocrisy
And [G] all the crimes we didn't see
The [Am] sigh that knows the devil might be [D] winning

But [G] you're the same as you and [Em] I'm the same as me
And [G] hopefully we can find [G7] ways to let us be reasonably [C] fine,  
Reasonably [D] fine, at least to let my music [G] shine

And [Em] maybe it's the greatest test
A [G] man's surrounded by his death
But [Am] reaches out and tastes the sweetest [D] honey

[Em] That's how you make me feel
I [G] love you more than death is real
It's [Am] sad but in the end it might be [G] funny

That [G] you're the same as you and [Em] I'm the same as me
And [G] hopefully we can find [G7] ways to let us be reasonably [C] fine, 
Reasonably [D] fine, at least to leave an open [G] mind
