Caught In The Crowd


Kate Miller Heidke Caught in a crowd Capo on 5th fret 3 chords - C Am F C Am There was a guy at my school when I was in high school F C We'd ride side by side in the morning on our bicycles C Am Never even spoken or faced each other F C But on the last hill we'd race each other C Am When we reached the racks we'd each go our own way F C I wasn't in his classes, I didn't know his name C Am When we finally got to speak he just stared at his feet F C And mumbled a sentence that ended with 'James' C Am I was young and caught in the crowd F C I didn't know then what I know now C Am F C I was dumb, and I was proud and I'm sorry C Am If I could go back do it again F C I'd be someone you could call friend C Am F C Please please believe that I'm sorry C Am Well he was quite a big guy, kinda shy and quiet F C When the kids called him weird he didn't try to deny it C Am Every lunchtime he'd spend walking by himself F C Round the boundary of the grounds til he heard the bell C Am Well one day I found him, joined him on his walk F C We were silent for a while until we started to talk C Am I told him my family were fighting in court F C He said his step-dad and him always fought C Am We talked about music, he was into punk F C Told me all the bands that I liked were junk C Am I said I'd never heard the songs the sex pistols sang F C I laughed back at him and then the bell rang C Am I was young and caught in the crowd F C I didn't know then what I know now C Am F C I was dumb, and I was proud and I'm sorry C Am If I could go back do it again F C I'd be someone you could call friend C Am F C Please please believe that I'm sorry C Am It was after school in the afternoon F C The corridors were crowded as we came out of the rooms C Am Three guys I knew pushed him into the cement F C Threw away his bag and said he had no friends C Am He yelled that he did and he looked around F C Tried getting up but they pushed him on down C Am F C That's when he saw me, called out my name C Am F C And I turned my back, and just walked away C Am F C Yeah I turned my back, and just walked away C Am I was young and caught in the crowd F C I didn't know then what I know now C Am F C I was dumb, and I was proud and I'm sorry C Am If I could go back do it again F C I'd be someone you could call friend C Am F C Please please believe that I'm sorry C Am F C Please, please believe that I’m sorry
