[A] _ Were we leaving Rio _ [Dm] or were [G] we in New York?

_ We were in the [D] backseat _ of a [G] cab we couldn't afford. _
[Gm] You were holding my [D] old rucksack on [G] your _ _ _ [Em] knees.
[Bb] _
[C] You leaned towards [A] the window to see [E] the traffic up ahead.
_ _ [E] _
_ [Bm] These commuters [D] here you said [Cm] could be _ _ the walking dead.
_ [D] _ _ _
And [G] we vowed to guard our [A] _ dreams from [D] all the storms that lay ahead. _

[D] _ You were clowning in the backseat with [Dm] some friends we'd found somewhere. _ _
[Gm] The kind back then we'd always seemed [G] to meet.
[Em] _ _ _
There [C] were those [A] in this great world you said [Ab] just faded to go [E] far. _
_ [Bm] And among [G] the lucky [Eb] ones were we _ _ inside [Cm] _ that _ car. _ _
[D] And your friends began to sing _ when [Dm] you wish upon a star. _ _
[Eb] And you clapped along like you didn't have [Dm] a _ care.
[A] _ _ _
[F] [Db] But once I turned to glance [Cm] at you [G] as we drove [D] across the square. _

_ _ Talking on your phone _ [Dm] to your family I guess. _
[Eb] Your briefcase tucked up high beneath [Dm] your _ _ [Em] arm. _ _
[C] [C] As I [Cm] approached you turned around [E] a question in [B] your eye. _ _
[Bm] As though I [G] might ignore you [Eb] and just simply _ _ _ _ [Ab] walk on by. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But we [D] _ smiled and talked a while _ [F] about each other's lives. _
[A] And once or twice I caught a [Dm] wistful _ [A] note. _ _
[E] Then you moved towards the crossing [C] _
[B] as the car [A] slowed to [E] a halt. _
