To Be Me To Be You

Simone Felice


Tom: D

             A               D                    G
As I wait in silence for the sound of an oncoming train,
          Bm                A         G
I haven't been that way for years.
                       A
Will I fall down on my knees?
             D                G
And will the air kiss me like home?
        Bm              A
I've forgotten how that feels.

[Chorus]
G                                       D
No one ever plans to grow up and be a junkie.
G                                       D
No one ever plans to grow up and be a thief.
G                      A          Bm
I don't know what it's like to be you, darling.
G                        A          D
You don't know what it's like to be me.

[Verse 2]
G                            A
All the years have fallen by now
            D               G        Bm          A       G
Would you recognize me if I stood in rags before you?
                       A             D                          G
Only chaff against the wind, shaking here & his mind fills with lace.
          (Bm)   A
And every day is new.

[Chorus]
G                                           D
No one ever plans to turn their life down a dark street.
          G                                       D
We're all looking for a way to find the things we lose.
G                        A          Bm
You don't know what it's like to be me, darling.
G                      A          Bm
I don't know what it's like to be you.

[Chorus]
G                                       D
No one ever plans to grow up and be a junkie.
G                                       D
No one ever plans to grow up and be a thief.
G                            (A)   D
Don't we all need someone to hold onto?
G                               (A)     D
(Oh and) Don't we all need something to believe?
G                      A          Bm
I don't know what it's like to be you, darling.
G                        A          D
You don't know what it's like to be me.

[Outro]
G                      A          Bm
I don't know what it's like to be you, darling.
G                        A          D
You don't know what it's like to be me.
