Lost In A Crowd by Port OBrien 




               Lost In A Crowd 





Capo 2

D                                     G
   I grew up in a small town by the sea
    D                                         G
I never got why everyone thought they had to flee
        D                                      G
And I never really thought about it all that much
         D                                     G
I just know I liked it more after I had grown up

D
And there was always a friend at the corner store

On a break from the job at the place next door

And she was always content and never asking for more
                                                        G
and we never seemed to mind that it was always such a bore

         F                    C            D
Well it felt like a movie but it was just TV
F                C                       D
Small town America for the tourists to see
F                  C                      D
Always wanting to talk, never wanting to meet

C                  G            D
We were just the extras on the street
C                  G            D
We were just the extras on the street

D                                                G         
Well my aunts in love with Mick Jagger so she claims
D                               G
Fell in love in New York City, 1978
D                                                     G
And she pushed her way all through to the very front row
D                                                       G
With her eyes on the stage and her feet ready for the show

D
She kept creeping as close as she could dare

And kept looking at him with that determined stare

And she could feel his love floatin' through the air
                                                              G
And it didn't matter that there were a thousand other people there

F                      C            D
But she was just an extra in the crowd
            F                         C                 D
She kept trying to tell him but the band was just too loud
           F                C               D
That the love she felt for him was real somehow

C                  G            D
She was just an extra in the crowd
C                  G            D
She was just an extra in the crowd

D                                   G
On a summer up North on a fishing boat
     D                                  G
The cannery rips us off like we don't know
D                                                           G
As they sit there and watch from their leather reclining chairs
D                                                  G
We're outside freezing in the cold and blistering air

D
And we finally get together, think of something to do

There's always a greedy scab or two

We'll fuck it up for me and you
                                                   G
For a couple extra bucks for the captain and his crew

               F                    C            D
And from the office they watch it work out its plans
         F         C                      D
As the money rolls in and the fish gets canned
         F                         C            D
They relax with the thought that they are in command

C                  G            D
We are just the extras far from land
C                  G            D
We are just the extras far from land

D                                              G
And so I flew out to Mos Eisley to meet some friends
D                                       G
But I didn't see Luke Skywalker or old Ben
D                                                    G
And I was feeling a little too embarrassed to ask around
D                                            G
I guess I wouldn't really know who to ask anyhow

D
And so I went into the bar to have a drink

And I was sitting there when I started to think 

How it all seemed to fit perfectly in sync 
                                                     G
And then Han walked in and he gave my a sympathetic wink

    F              C            D
But I was just an extra in the bar
         F             C                    D
But I couldn't figure out why I wasn't the star
        F                 C                   D
After I'd come all this way and travelled so far

C             G            D
I was just an extra in the bar
C             G            D
I was just an extra in the bar

               D                                G
Well Captain Newman and I went out for a cup of tea
       D                                           G
Just because neither of us had any other place to be
        D                                       G
I said what you're doing, it makes no sense to me
          D                                G
He said friend look close, you just might see

D
I said what the fuck are you trying to prove

You've got all the neighbours so confused

Out of all the places that you could choose
                                           G
Why can't you just take all your shit and move?

                F              C                          D
He said if it wasn't for you, none of this would be the same
 F                  C                 D
No one to talk to, no one to know my name
F                   C                 D
No one to stone nobody else here to blame

C                  G            D
All the extras I need for this game
C                  G          D
All the extras I need for my game
