Lost In A Crowd Chords
Couln't find chords or tabs for this song anywhere, so I decided to put some on here.
One of my favourite songs, enjoy!
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
Thanks for rating,
Sam
