[Strophe]
A                       E          D 
On the last message you sent to me 
            E                      A 
You seem confused to get an offering 
        E                             D        E 
At the events that brought us to this juncture 
A                              E 
'Cause where’s the joy in this self-delusion? 
D                          E               A 
We're all practitioners of vague illusions 
        E         D       E 
Hieroglyphics and pictures
[Pre-Refrain]
  F#m                          C#m 
Careering round blind bends at high speed 
               E              D 
The loneliness of the long-distance driver
[Refrain]
      A 
I was lost (I was lost) 
E                D 
Lost (I was lost) 
A        E       A 
Then you saved me
[Strophe]
A                    E 
Now who's gonna be tomorrow’s heroes? 
          D 
While the system grinds 
        E 
To an unseemly halt 
     A           E               D      E 
Apologize to the streets and the rivers 
    A                  E 
The port is out in the 1980s 
        D 
There's no going back now 
    E            A 
The message degraded 
        E       D  E 
And the storms evaded
[Pre-Refrain]
  F#m                          C#m 
Careering round blind bends at high speed 
               E             D 
The loneliness of the broken-hearted
[Refrain]
      A 
I was lost (I was lost) 
E              D 
Lost (I was lost) 
A        E 
Then you saved me 
A 
Lost (I was lost) 
E 
(I was lost) 
         D 
I was lost (I was lost) 
A        E 
Then you saved me 
A 
Lost (I was lost) 
E 
(I was lost) 
         D 
I was lost (I was lost) 
A        E 
Then you saved me 
A 
Lost (I was lost) 
E 
(I was lost) 
         D 
I was lost (I was lost) 
A        E 
Then you saved me
