[Verse]
E Bm D A
I was looking for the answer as in some fairy tale
E Bm D A
Somebody said there's a man here and all his life he has just failed
E Bm D A
You only learn from the losers, of this I am sure
E Bm
And as I walked down his old street
D A
I heard him talking as he walked in the door

[Chorus]
G G/B G G/B D E9sus4 D/F# Dadd4 D
How do I know that I'm not dreaming,
G G/B G G/B D E9sus4 D/F#
how do I know this is for real
A Bm
Or that my destiny has not been writen
A Bm A G Bm A G
And that my fate has not been sealed, . . . been sealed

[Verse]
E Bm D A
I said my life is like a straight line, but no that's not true at all
E Bm D A
It's more like a series of accidents and into each situation I fall
E Bm D A
Man I get some tired of thinking I'm like a dog whose watching TV
E Bm
'Cause I know something is happening
D A
But I don't know what's happening to me

[Chorus]
G G/B G G/B D E9sus4 D/F# Dadd4 D
Take one thing that you are sure of,
D D G G/B G G/B D E9sus4 D/F# Dadd4 D
You can be sure that one thing will be taken away
A Bm
Everything's on loan here there are no owners
A Bm A G Bm A G
It all came to pass not to stay . . . not to stay
