Verse
Dm
I lost my shoes I lost my wife
F
I lost my keys I lost my kite
Gm C
And though I'm young at heart I'm so much older
Dm
Subway eyes and banked up skies
F
And violent towns and frozen pies
Gm C
And all them football crowds who lost are cold now
Chrous
F Dm
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
F F7 A#
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
C F
Reasonably fine, at least to beat my drums in time
Dm
Suddenly I've realised
F
That I won't be here when I die
Gm C
And life upon this plain is somehow fleeting
Dm
Time and all it's precious wine
F
Is somehow primed to make us whine
Gm C
And fret even then when we should be sleeping
F Dm
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
F F7 A#
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
C F
Reasonably fine, at least to play my pretty chimes
Dm
Empty cries and hollow toots
F
And all the signs that have no use
Gm C
And fingers point accusingly are sinning
Dm
Humourless hypocrisy
F
And all the crimes we didn't see
Gm C
The sigh that knows the devil might be winning
F Dm
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
F F7 A#
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
C F
Reasonably fine, at least to let my music shine
Dm
And maybe it's the greatest test
F
A man surrounded by his death
Gm C
But reaches out and tastes the sweetest honey
Dm
That's how you make me feel
F
I love you more than death is real
Gm C
It's sad but in the end it might be funny
F Dm
That you're the same as you and I'm the same as me
F F7 A#
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine,
C F
Reasonably fine, at least to leave an open mind
