Tom: D
D C#m G A
I do relate to you in so many ways
D C#m E A
But I didn't go through what you must have in those early days
D A E F#m
You had to be strong at such a very young age
D E A
A new life on Ilima Lane
[Chorus]
D C
So won't you listen to me now
A G A
something I never told you
G D
And I'm about to try
C E
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
[Verse 2]
D C#m G A
You moved back in with us in the fall of '82
D C#m E A
I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through
D A E F#m
You told me that a downturn would eventually improve
D E A
And you were right, so I'm thanking you
[Chorus]
D C
So won't you listen to me now
A G A
something I never told you
G D
And I'm about to try
C E A
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
A E A
Footholds eroding
[Bridge 1]
D A E
Had you never been my friend
D A D A
I wouldn't be quite what you see
D A E
I wouldn't be the man I am

A D
Sister you've known me
A
Lost in a strange world
D
What has it shown me
A
What has it gone through
D
Sister you've known me
A
Been lost in a strange world
D
But has it shown me
A
What has it gone through
[Verse 3]
D C#m G A
October chill in that old dusty town
D C#m E A
Halloween came, I was still feeling down
D A E F#m
Mama, lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round?
D E F#m
Your boy is losing count
D E A
Maybe try the lost and found
