Feel just like an open book

Exposing myself in this neighbourhood

Thinking that everyone has gone

Through different kinds of hell
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am (A|--0h2--|)
Lately I've found myself in doubt
C G/B Am (A|--0h2--|)
Asking myself what it's all about

What am I doing here What's this leading to
D/F# (E|--0h2--|) G
What's the point of all without you
[Chorus]

Feel just like an open book
C G/B Am (A|--0h2--|)
A couple of words was all it took
C G/B Am
In front of a bright white canvas

Staring vacantly now free,
(E|--0h2--|) G
Against my will
[Outro]

A drifting vessel in the storm

Pushed around from shore to shore

I know there's so much left to see

I know I have so much left to give

But the memories remain

Yet the scars don't feel the same

Filling pages one by one

I feel just like an open book
Exposing myself in this neighborhood
Talking to people as if I knew them well
Thinking that everyone
Has gone through different kinds of Hell
Lately, I've found myself in doubt
Asking myself what it's all about
What am I doing here, what's this leading to?
What's the point of it all without you?
Well, I've got promises to keep
Like a cat, I know I'll land upon my feet
Each time I fall
Every now and then in dreams
By the river 'neath our tree
Leaves in yellow, red and brown
I hear you whisper in my ear
Your love belongs to everyone
I feel just like an open book
A couple of words was all it took
In front of a bright white canvas
Staring vacantly now free against my will
A drifting vessel in the storm
Pushed around from shore to shore
I know there's so much left to see
I know I have so much left to give
But the memories remain
Yet the scars don't feel the same
Filling pages one by one
In the warmth of other suns
