         1. A  boy alone    so   far from home endless rooftops from my window
         2.    Now I've gained some understanding of the only world that we see

Sorry about the lyrics, the Tab Creator doesn't space according to note value
so a lot of the chorus doesn't fit in...but you get the picture.
