Bm
Go find
Someone else
I am not ready to die
Go whisper softly
To someone else
Ask them
To lie down

    Bm
You can tell 'em I'll be back in a minute
     C
For now is not the time
Bm
I was there already I think, as a child
       C
But I really can't remember why

Chorus:
Em              G
Someone in the doorway
Bm              C
Someone in the light
Em                   G
Someone through the wall always
Am       G       F
Someone left outside

Bm              C
Go find someone else
         Bm             C
I am not ready to decide
            Bm
Go whisper softly
                 C
To the man with no time
    Bm
Ask him
    C
To pick sides

Tell them I'll be back in a minute
Oh now is not the time
Gone to find the root they all chewed on
For millennia
Do something better with my time

Chorus:
Someone in the doorway
Someone in the light
Someone in my hallway
Someone wearing a new hat
Someone on the floor outside
They say you don't come back from that

Am        C          G
Into the light of a bad dream
Am        C             G
Into the laughter of a war
Am         C              G
England a sedative on my tongue
Am            D        G
Goodbye, goodbye that song
Am            D        G
Goodbye, goodbye that song
