[A] [D]
I'm lost, [A] [D]
stranded
got to New [D] York City [C] I was looking [D] for another satellite
feet were [B] so damn [D] calloused I could probably walk the edges of a knife
[Bm] My mistakes had often led me [C] to believe I'll never [G] find an open [D] door
Now [D] I'm busted, flat and broken And I don't know what [G] the hell I'm [D] waiting for
Some could see that [B] I was stumbling [C] A couple [G] even stopped to [D] lend a hand
I'm lost, [A] [D]
stranded
got to New [D] York City [C] I was looking [D] for another satellite
feet were [B] so damn [D] calloused I could probably walk the edges of a knife
[Bm] My mistakes had often led me [C] to believe I'll never [G] find an open [D] door
Now [D] I'm busted, flat and broken And I don't know what [G] the hell I'm [D] waiting for

And [Bm] I wondered if [A] by chance I should [C] ever listen back [G] to what they said [D] in school
_ _ [A] _ _
It [D] occurred to me I might have been [Am] the class clown [G] then, but now I'm just [D] a fool _ _ _ _ _
