G                           G 
In waves of people you can lose your feet
G                               G 
You’ve got to stay hard to the ground
G                       G 
It gets so easy now to lose your way
G                         G 
When you’re ever outward bound
 C                            C 
A church bell ringing in the fading light
 C                      C 
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
 F                            F 
The ghost of yester-years is touching you
         C                  G 
And as sure as god you’ll fall

Chorus:
G          G   G   F 
And I see you
G          G   G   F 
And I see me
G         G   G   F 
I see it all
        G          G   G   F 
Like it used to be

And all the reasons why it started out
Hit you hard with every bell
The choir practice in the empty hall
Is a sound that you know so well
Like something lost inside your overcoat
You find it later, by mistake
You lost it all a thousand years ago
And you pray it's not too late

Chorus:
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like it used to be
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like a diary

Now I remember everything
Yea I remember how it used to be
With every note that choirboy sings
And I see me and I see you
I see it all just like it used to be
