I traveled halfway across the world
Em
to see a sage
G
I heard he lived like such a poor man
Em
in this day and age
Am
I said, where's your leather couches
Em
Where's your golden chandelier
Am
Where's your walk-in closet
Em
For all that stuff you could wear
G
Well all you got is that suitcase
Em
my friend, ain't that true
G
I said, yeah but you know
Em
that I'm just passing through
Am
That's when he said...
Em
I'm just like you
Am G F
I'm just pass-ing through
Em
just like you
Am G
My heart wants to feel
F Em
Something that's real
Am G
And my mind hopes to find
F Em
Treasures of another kind
Am G
And if you had my eyes you'd see
F Em
A palace for you and me
G
Although he's been forever living
Em
in this town
G
People say he never really
Em
settled down
Am
They say, where's your leather couches
Em
Where's your golden chandelier
Am
Where's your walk-in closet
Em
for all that stuff you could wear
G
The neighbors talk but they don't
Em
understand
G
The things he's collecting you can't
Em
hold in your hand
Am
Like he said...
Em
I'm just like you
Am G F
Just pass-ing through
Em
just like you
Am G
My heart wants to feel
F Em
Something that's real
Am G
And my mind hopes to find
F Em
Treasures of another kind
Am G
And if you had my eyes you'd see
F Em
A palace for you and me
Em
I'm just like you
Am G F
I'm just pass-ing through
Em
just like you
Am G
My heart wants to feel
F Em
Something that's real
Am G
And my mind hopes to find
F Em
Treasures of another kind
