[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Larry,
I travel as baggage [C]in calloused hand[G]s[C]
Stream[G]ing in from nowhere
and other dis[C]tant [G]lands[C]
[D]Squinting at a pumpkin sun[Am]glow
on a winter [Em]vine
With [D]Joseph opposition in
[Am]some endless [Em]line
[G]Can you recognize us?
We're the ones in [C]the
long tan [G]coats[C]
[G]Passing time singing a stream
of [C]random [G]notes[C]
[D]Can you recognize us?
We're [Am]each wear a pensive [Em]grin
So afraid to [G]lose what we were each
too afraid to [C]win[G][C]
[G]Bone -weary runners
mov[C]ing [G]out in [C]single [G]file[C]
Fight[G]ing back the pain
it [C]comes in the final [G]mile[C]
[D]Can you recognize us?
We're the [Am]ones pulling
out [Em]ahead
[D]Passing time making plans
[Am]and warding off the drea[Em]d
So [G]what do we do next
and [Gsus4]what should we wait
[C]for [G]now?[C]
[G]Something to spur us on,
[C]to wake us up somehow[G][C]
And [D]can you recognize us,
we [Am]each wear our doubt like a [Em]skin
So afraid to [G]lose, but we were each [C]too afraid [G]to
[C]win[Gsus4][C][G][C][Gsus4][G][D]
Too afraid to [Am]lose our [Em]self [D]-respect
To [Am]lose our [Em]grasp of the [D]times
To keep [Am]our pass[Em]ions in [D]check
So afraid to [C]lose
It's [G]coming into focus
The stars are beginning to [C]shine
[G]Hey, did you notice
how we both [C]call each other [G]mine?[C]
And [D]hey, did you notice
the [Am]Santa Ana's blowing in[Em]?
So afraid to [G]lose,
that we were [C]each [G]too afraid to [C]win[G]
[C]Each too afraid to [G]win[C][G]
[C]Each [G]too [C]afraid [G]to [C]win
[G]Oh, merry [C]runners
[G]Merry -eyed [C]travelers
Com[G]in' in a focus
[C]Rea[G]ch [C]to a greate[G]r place[C]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]
