[Intro]
A
 
 
[Verse 1]
A                       E          D
On the last message you sent to me
            E                      A
You seem confused to get an offering
        E                             D        E
At the events that brought us to this juncture
A                              E
'Cause where’s the joy in this self-delusion?
D                          E               A
We're all practitioners of vague illusions
        E         D       E
Hieroglyphics and pictures
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  F#m                          C#m
Careering round blind bends at high speed
               E              D
The loneliness of the long-distance driver
 
 
[Chorus]
      A
I was lost (I was lost)
E                D
Lost (I was lost)
A        E       A
Then you saved me
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                    E
Now who's gonna be tomorrow’s heroes?
          D
While the system grinds
        E
To an unseemly halt
     A           E               D      E
Apologize to the streets and the rivers
    A                  E
The port is out in the 1980s
        D
There's no going back now
    E            A
The message degraded
        E       D  E
And the storms evaded
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  F#m                          C#m
Careering round blind bends at high speed
               E             D
The loneliness of the broken-hearted
 
 
[Chorus]
      A
I was lost (I was lost)
E              D
Lost (I was lost)
A        E
Then you saved me
A
Lost (I was lost)
E
(I was lost)
         D
I was lost (I was lost)
A        E
Then you saved me
A
Lost (I was lost)
E
(I was lost)
         D
I was lost (I was lost)
A        E
Then you saved me
A
Lost (I was lost)
E
(I was lost)
         D
I was lost (I was lost)
A        E
Then you saved me
 
 
[Outro]
