when John he saw the numbers he lied
D E
made up the whole thing, failed when he tried
A
to cash in on his cautious new fame
D E
always the numbers but never the name

We we hit the numbers we broke
D E
broke in and changed them changed as we spoke
A
we knew that we would always be down
D E
hitting the numbers spun way 'round
A
and somebody beside you
D
slipped your head inside the crown
A
the princes of the paupers
D
and all the old showstoppers
E
till this moment's still unknown
A
sirens' songs have tried, too
D
yet, she takes you as her own
A
the princes of the paupers
D
and all the old showstoppers
E
till this moment's still unknown
A
and when he got the numbers he thought
D E
thought of his friends who slowed to a halt
A
who had questioned to no avail
D E
some knew the answers, some wouldn't tell

When Gabriel saw the numbers he fell
D E
fell through the clouds into the great well
A
but woke up before he hit the ground
D E
no one had noticed still he looked around
A
and somebody beside you
D
slipped your head inside the crown
A
the princes of the paupers
D
and all the old showstoppers
E
till this moment's still unknown
A
sirens' songs have tried, too
D
yet, she takes you as her own
A
the princes of the paupers
D
and all the old showstoppers
E
till this moment's still unknown
A
with her hand to guide you
D
you are nothing if not home
A
the princes of the paupers
D
and all the old showstoppers
E
till this moment's still unknown
