when John he saw the numbers he lied 
            D                           E 
made up the whole thing, failed when he tried 
   A 
to cash in on his cautious new fame 
           D                     E 
always the numbers but never the name 

A B E D G D (2x) 

A 
We we hit the numbers we broke 
             D                          E 
broke in and changed them changed as we spoke 
A 
we knew that we would always be down 
            D                E 
hitting the numbers spun way 'round 

A 
and somebody beside you 
                             D 
slipped your head inside the crown 
A 
the princes of the paupers 
D 
and all the old showstoppers 
                         E 
till this moment's still unknown 

A 
sirens' songs have tried, too 
                          D 
yet, she takes you as her own 
A 
the princes of the paupers 
D 
and all the old showstoppers 
                         E 
till this moment's still unknown 

A 
and when he got the numbers he thought 
               D                       E 
thought of his friends who slowed to a halt 
A 
who had questioned to no avail 
              D                      E 
some knew the answers, some wouldn't tell 

A B E D G D (2x)

When Gabriel saw the numbers he fell 
                 D                     E 
fell through the clouds into the great well 
A 
but woke up before he hit the ground 
           D                        E 
no one had noticed still he looked around 

A 
and somebody beside you 
                             D 
slipped your head inside the crown 
A 
the princes of the paupers 
D 
and all the old showstoppers 
                         E 
till this moment's still unknown 

A 
sirens' songs have tried, too 
                          D 
yet, she takes you as her own 
A 
the princes of the paupers 
D 
and all the old showstoppers 
                         E 
till this moment's still unknown 

A 
with her hand to guide you 
                       D 
you are nothing if not home 
A 
the princes of the paupers 
D 
and all the old showstoppers 
                           E 
till this moment's still unknown
