[Verse 1] 
D           A              Em7    
  I found a picture of you,       ohh oh oh ohh ohhh
D          A                      Em7        
  Oh, what hijacked my world that night
D                       A               Em7      
  To a place in the past we've been cast out of, ohh oh oh ohh ohhh

[Verse 2]
D          A                    Em7    
   Circumstance beyond our control,   ohh oh oh ohh ohhh
D                  A                      Em7         
   the phone, the TV, and the news of the world
D                  A                       Em7   
   Got in the house like a pigeon from hell,     ohh oh oh ohh ohhh
D                    A                        Em7     
   Threw sand in our eyes, and descended like flies


[Chorus]
Em                      A           Em     A
   Put us back on the train, yeah
Em               A     Em     A

Dm      A               Dm        A                         
    The powers that be       that force us to live like we do
Dm       A                      Dm          A
         Bring me to my knees        when I see what they've done to you

Dm       A       Dm       A  

Dm            A                         Dm        A
     And I'll die as I stand here today,          knowing that deep in my heart
Dm        A                       Dm        A               A

     in the wretched life of a lonely heart
