VERSE ONE

Ab/Eb
At the top of the stairs, there's hundreds of people,
Dbm/E
running around to all the doors.
Ab/Eb
They try to find, find themselves an audience;
Dbm/E
their deductions need applause.

Dbm/E                  Ab/Eb
The rich man stands in front of me,
Abdim/D                Db
The poor man behind my back.
Dbm                    F#m/A
They believe they can control the game,
Ab              Dbsus4         Db
but the juggler holds another pack.

BRIDGE

I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.

I need someone to believe in, someone to trust.

Abm7               F#                Db
I'd rather trust a countryman than a townman,
Abm7     F#                                   Db
You can judge by his eyes, take a look if you can,
      Db    Db/F#   Db  Ab
He'll smile through his guard,
  Db   Db/F# Db     Ab
Survi- val   trains hard.
Abm7               F#                     Db
I'd rather trust a man who works with his hands,
Abm7               F#                     Db
He looks at you once, you know he understands,
      Db   Db/F# Db Ab
Don't need a-    ny shield,
            Db  Db/F# Db  Ab
When you're out in    the field.

CHORUS

    Dbm    Abm/Eb
But down   here,
       Dbm           Abm/Eb
I'm so alone with my fear,
          Dbm          Abm/Eb
With everything that I hear.
    Dbm   B/Eb   Dbm/E
And every single door

That I've walked through

Abm       B/F#       Dbm     Abm/Eb
Brings me back, back here again,
            F#/Db       Ab/Eb
I've got to find my own way.

--------
VERSE TWO

Ab/Eb
The priest and the magician,
Dbm/E
Singing all the chants that they have ever heard;
Ab/Eb
and they're all calling out my name,
Dbm/E
Even academics, searching printed word.


Dbm/E                  Ab/Eb
My father to the left of me,
Abdim/D                Db
My mother to the right,
Dbm                    F#m/A
Like everyone else they're pointing
Ab                      Dbsus4    Db
But nowhere feels quite right.

Abm7               F#                              Db
I'd rather trust a man who doesn't shout what he's found,
Abm7               F#                      Db
There's no need to sell if you're homeward bound.
   Db    Db/F#  Db   Ab
If I     choose a    side,
         Db   Db/F# Db    Ab
He won't take me    for a ride.

CHORUS

Dbm  Abm/Eb
Back inside
                Dbm     Abm/Eb
This chamber of so many doors;
              Dbm        Abm/Eb
I've nowhere, nowhere to hide.
    Dbm      B/Eb      Dbm/E
I'd give you all of my dreams

If you'd help me,

        Abm
Find a door
     B/F#            Dbm  Abm/Eb
That doesn't lead me back again
F#/Db      Ab/Eb
- take me away.

END.
