Bb
Bb
Like pebbles on a beach
F
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Eb Cm F
Like broken stones - all trying to get home
Bb
Like a loserīs reach
F
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Eb Bb
So lost and alone - trying to get home
Eb
As another piece shatteres
Bb
Another little bit gets lost
Gm Cm F
And what else really matters - at such a cost?
Bb
