Verse 
    Am              C            F            G 
You traded all your lovers for a house by the river 
    Am                C            F               G 
And all those sweet deceptions and one more broken vow 
        Am          C       F               G             C 
And the dark-eyed poets who promised you forever, tell me 
      F        G      Am 
Where are they now 
      F        G 
Where are they now 

Verse 
Am              C             F              G 
You were always running, just one more step ahead 
    Am                C             F             G 
And just like all the others, I was following somehow 
       Am                 C       F                       G             C 
Was it something I wasn't saying, something I should have said, tell me 
      F    G      Am 
Where am I now 
      F    G 
Where am I now

Verse 
          Am          C                 F               G 
Now sweet solitude surrounds you like a blanket of wild heather 
        Am           C            F       G 
You are one with the land and the sky somehow 
        Am              C               F               G               C 
And the seasons sway in sympathy as you dance in time together, tell me 
      F       G       Am 
Where are you now 
      F       G 
Where are you now 

Verse 
    Am             C                F                G 
And I will write a song for you and try to fill this space 
         Am               C          F            G 
And I'll take the time in passing to wonder from afar 
Am                C                    F            G 
Maybe I'll try to find you, though you never left a trace 
          C           F            G 
And maybe then I will know who you are 
      Am          F            G 
Maybe then I will know who you are
