 In the corner  of a box marked lost and found
I  find myself again
Lining  the bottom of a wishing well
 with other dreams  that might have been
Flattened  by the pressure of what's coming down
 I'm relying  on faith second hand
 :
I  used to be an average  man
 with bigger  than average plans
Somehow  I got lost  along the way
 and now I'm here
 Don't you know that you  could be the one to set me free
 I've waited all my life  to be someone somebody could see
 You can find  me still in the corner  of a box
 marked lost and found  at the bottom of a wishing  well
 E
Burdened  by the weight of a wrecking ball
 I'm defining  my own sense of worth
 I want  to bathe my soul in the light
 as religion  finds me immersed
Destitution  knows me by name
 While the trick  is to sit where you stand
 I'm caught shuddering by myself
 each wish in the shape of a coin
 Legal tender for wishes thrown
 as the water reflects the unknown
 The tide rips through the surface of time
 But I can't think of when it began

In the [E]corner of a box marked lost and found
[Aadd9]I find myself again [E]
[E]Lining the bottom of a wishing well
with other [Aadd9]dreams that might have been [E]
[E]Flattened by the pressure of what's coming down
I'm [Aadd9]relying on faith second hand [E]

:
[Aadd9]I used to be an [Abm]average man
with [Aadd9]bigger than average plans [E]
[Aadd9]Somehow I got [Abm]lost along the [F#m]way
and now I'm [Badd9]here
Don't you know that [E]you could be the one to set me [Aadd9]free
I've waited all my [E]life to be someone somebody could [Aadd9]see    [A]       [Aadd9]             [A]
You can [Abm]find me still in the [F#m]corner of a [Abm]box
marked lost and [A5]found at the bottom of a [Badd9]wishing well

E [Intro Riff]

[E]Burdened by the weight of a wrecking ball
I'm [Aadd9]defining my own sense of worth [E]
I [E]want to bathe my soul in the light
as re[Aadd9]ligion finds me immersed [E]

I'm caught shuddering by myself
each wish in the shape of a coin
Legal tender for wishes thrown
as the water reflects the unknown
The tide rips through the surface of time
But I can't think of when it began
