  D          D+  Dsus4       D
Alone on a train aimless in wonder
    D        D+   Dsus4         D
An outdated map crumpled in my pocket
    D                 Dsus4    D
But I didn't care where I was going
                   Bm        F#m
'Cause they're all different names for
    Gmaj7  D
the same place.

The coast disappeared when the sea drowned the sun
I knew no words to share it with anyone
The boundaries of language I quietly cursed
And all the different names for the same thing

          Bm        F#m           Gmaj7  D
There are different names for the same thing
          Bm        F#m           Gmaj7  D
There are different names for the same thing
          Bm        F#m              Gmaj7      A
There are different names, there are different names
          Bm        F#m              Gmaj7      A
There are different names, there are different names
          Bm        F#m              Gmaj7      A
There are different names, there are different names
          Bm        F#m              Gmaj7      D
There are different names, there are different names
