 Em, Em
            Em          Em               D           D        Hm     A     Em 
 I get lost, I get lost, I get lost in crowds, if I can, I remain invisible
               D           D       Hm       Em       Em 
 to the hungry mouths. I stay, I stay unapproachable.
             D               D             Hm        A     A 
 I wear the landscape of the urban, of the urban chameleon.
   Em            D         F#m      F#m Hm              
 Scarred by attention and quietly addicted to innocence.
 
 Em, Em
           Em         Em          D               D          Hm           A    Em 
 At starry, at starry, at starry parties, where amongst the rich and the famous
                D         D         Hm              Em          Em 
 I'm stuck for words, or worse, I blether with the best of them.
             D                    D             Hm            A         A 
 I see their eyes glaze and they look, and the look for the drinks tray.
  Em                D          F#m        F#m Hm            
 Something in the drift of my conversation  bothers them.

 So, who am I?
                 G           C 
 Come on: ask me, I dare you.
            B 
 So, who am I?
                      G               C 
 Come on: question me, if you care to.
               B                     G          C 
 And why not try to interrogate this apparition?
          B                        G              
 I melt away to get lost in this quaint condition.

 In scary in scary in scary airports, in concourses over-filled,
         D         D      Hm    Em    Em 
 I am detached in serious observation.
             D        D        Hm      A           A 
 As a passenger, I become I become un-tethered when
        Em       D         F#m         F#m  Hm           
 I get lost in clouds: at home with my own quiet company.

 I mean to get lost in crowds.
