[Verse 1]
HAe went to visit an old, old friend
ADnd it was long, long GoverdueD
AAnd though they stayed up very late
ThDey never talked out of tuGrn or tuDne
AAnd every time they'd A7say goodbye
DWell he'd just stay anGother wDhile
AThey started from a distant place
DAnd were so happy fGace to fDace
[Verse 2]
AThe one who left wanted everything
DThe one who stayed never wanted more
AIt's not your choice, it's how you're built
DIt's in a blueprint of your soul
AThe one who left, he A7dropped his smile
DAnd they satG quiet Dfor a while
AThen the one who stayed A7began to speak
DAnd in his words, he Ganswered Dwhy
[Chorus 1]
DI'm just another Gmdrop in the bucket
DI'm just another Bmsong on a jukebox
AI'm just another Gface in the crowd
Another Afish in theD sea
DSomething to being Gmone of the many
DSomething to being Bmone in the masses
ASomething to being Gsurrounded by others
And not alAone by yourDself
[Interlude]
EI never wanted the bright lights in my Aeyes, I'm Dmuch too quiet
EI never wanted them pointing their fingers at Ame
Oh Dno, Embut...
[Chorus 1]
DSomething to being Gmone of the many
DSomething to being Bmone in the masses
ASomething to being Gsurrounded by others
And not alAone by youDrself
[Verse 3]
AThe one who left he knew it then
DAnd he would never Gdoubt agaDin
AHe loved this life, he loved his friend
DBut he'd keep running 'til the end
AAll words they said hovered above
DAll of the pGain, all of the lDove
AThey hugged goodbye
And in his room, Dhe sang real quiet Gto the Dmoon
[Chorus 2]
DSomething to being Gmone of the many
DWho get to sing the Bmsongs on the jukebox
AWho get to stay aGwake all night
And dream Ahalf of the Dday
DSomething to waking Gmup in a new town
DSomething to singing Bmsongs to a new crowd
ASomething to being surrGounded by others
And not alAone by yourDself
[Interlude]
EI never wanted the bright lights in my Aeyes, I'm Dmuch too quiet
EI never wanted them pointing their fingers at mAe
EmOh Dno, Embut...
[Chorus 2]
DSomething to being Gmone of the many
DWho get to sing the Bmsongs on the jukebox
AWho get to stay awGake all night
And dream Ahalf of the Dday
Then wake Gup in a Anew tBmown
Just aGnother face Ain the Dcrowd
