The One Who Stayed And The One Who Left Cifras

A                   D
A                   D                D
 
A                   C#dim/G
He went to visit an old, old friend
D                    G/D     D
And it was long, long overdue
A                         C#dim/G
And though they stayed up very late
D                        G/D         D
They never talked out of turn or tune
A                        C#dim/G
And every time they'd say goodbye
D                      G/D       D
Well he'd just stay another while
A                   C#dim/G
They started from a distant place
D                 G/D      D
And were so happy face to face
 
D
 
A                       C#dim/G
The one who left wanted everything
D                        G/D      D
The one who stayed never wanted more
A                           C#dim/G
It's not your choice, it's how you're built
D                    G/D        D
It's in a blueprint of your soul
A                      C#dim/G
The one who left, he dropped his smile
D                   G/D      D
And they sat quiet for a while
A                         C#dim/G
Then the one who stayed began to speak
D                    G/D      D
And in his words, he answered why
 
D                Dmaj7
I'm just another drop in the bucket
D          D/C#    Bmin
I'm just another song on a jukebox
A                G
I'm just another face in the crowd
       G        A     D
Another fish in the sea
D                   Dmaj7
Something to being one of the many
D            D/C#     Bmin
Something to being one in the masses
A                       G
Something to being surrounded by others and not
     A        D
alone by yourself
 
E7/G#   E7/B       E7/D     E7/E
I never wanted the bright lights and my
A    G   D/F#     D/F#  A7/E  D
eyes are much too quiet
E7/G#               E7/B           E7
I never wanted them pointing their fingers at
A  G  D/F#  A7/E
me oh no, but
 
D                   Dmaj7
Something to being one of the many
D            D/C#     Bmin
Something to being one in the masses
A                       G
Something to being surrounded by others and not
     A        D
alone by yourself
 
A                   C#dim/G
The one who left he knew it then
D                   G/D      D
And he would never doubt again
A                      C#dim/G
He loved this life, he loved his friend
D                      G/D      D
But he'd keep running 'til the end
A                     C#dim/G
All words they said hovered above
D                 G/D        D
All of the pain, all of the love
A                         C#dim/G
They hugged goodbye and in his room
D                  G/D      D
he sang real quiet to the moon
 
D                 Dmaj7
Something to being one of the many
D          D/C#     Bmin
who get to sing the songs on the jukebox
A                 G
Who get to stay awake all night and dream
        A     D
half of the day
D                    Dmaj7
Something to waking up in a new town
D             D/C#     Bmin
Something to singing songs to a new crowd
A                       G
Something to being surrounded by others and not
       A     D
alone by yourself
 
E7/G#   E7/B       E7/D     E7/E
I never wanted the bright lights and my
A    G   D/F#     D/F#  A7/E  D
eyes are much too quiet
E7/G#               E7/B           E7
I never wanted them pointing their fingers at
A  G  D/F#  A7/E
me oh no, but
 
D                 Dmaj7
Something to being one of the many
D          D/C#     Bmin
who get to sing the songs on the jukebox
A                 G
Who get to stay awake all night and dream
        A     D
half of the day
          G       A   Bmin
Then wake up in a new town
A     G          A       D
Just another face in the crowd
