Cm D# Gm C#m(add9)
1. When I was a young boy I tried to listen
2. If you ever feel like something's missing
3. When I was a young boy, I tried to listen
Cm D# Gm
And I wanna feel like that
things you'll never understand
Don’t you wanna feel like that?
Cm D# Gm C#m(add9)
Little white shadows, blink and miss them
Little white shadows, sparkle and glisten
You’re part of the human race, all of the stars in the outer space
Cm D# Gm
Part of a system, I am
Part of a system, a plan
Part of a system, I am

Maybe you'll get what you wanted

Swim out on a sea of faces

See it break on your horizon, oh

Come on love, stay with me
