G                       Em
John met me down on the boulevard
G                        Em
Cry on his should 'cause life is hard
C                         Am
The waves came in over my head
G                      Bm Em
What you been up to my baby?
G                            Em
Haven't seen you 'round here lately
G                       Em           C
All of the guys tell me lies but you don't
         Am            C
You just crack another beer
       G                      C
And pretend that you're still here


[Chorus]
Am        C      G          Em   Am
This is how to disappear
        C      G
This is how to disappear


[Verse 2]
G                      Em
Jim met me down at the training yard
    G                          Em
Got cuts on his face 'cause he fought too hard
  C                     Am
I know he's in over his head
      G                    Em
But I love that man like nobody can
         G                           Bm      Em
He moves mountains and turns them to ground again
    C                          Am
And I watched the guys getting high as they fight
        Am                    C
For the things that they hold dear
       Am                 C
To forget the things they fear


[Chorus]
    Am      C       G         Em
And this is how they disappear
        C        G
This is how they disappear


[Bridge]
     G                            Em
Well now, it's been years since I left New York
    G                      Em
And I've got a kid and two cats in the yard
    C                      Am
The California sun and the movie stars
    C                           Am
And I watched the skies getting light as I write
     Am                C
As I think about those years
      Am              C
And I whisper in your ear


[Outro]
Am         C                 G     Em
I'm always going to be right here
         Am       G
No one's going anywhere
Am         C                 G
I'm always going to be right here
         Am       G
No one's going anywhere
