Recording sounds like Capo 2nd with the chords below

[Intro]
G  D  Am  D

[Verse]
        G                                  Bm
I don't know you in those clothes, I don't know you with that hair
       C                           D
Two di-mensional reflection, unfor-giving unaware
          G                                     Bm
Part time dreamer, would be player, you thought fame could outrun fear
          Am7                            D
Something clearly terrified you, did you choose to disappear

[Chorus]
        Am            D
Guess a-gain, guess a-gain
         Am7                                   D
You made friends and some still ask about you, now and then

[Verse]
         G                               Bm
Well you sang a pencil promise, that you thought you might erase
       C                                  D
Left a fault line on your future, someday heartache you must face
         G                                Bm
Earned a black belt in disaster, wound up acting like a jerk
       Am7                             D
It's a fact of life, your final act is gonna need some work

[Chorus]
                 Am                 D
Hey where've you been, where've you been
         Am7                             D
Learning lessons on the road to hell and back again

[Bridge]
            G
And someone asked me once, where do we go when we arrive
          C                Cm        D
If you're lucky, when it's over, the dreamer's still alive
          G
A blessed mystery, for sweeter souls did not survive
              C                      D
But if you're lucky, when it's done, somehow deep inside
                      G      Bm    Am7    D
The dreamer's still a-live

[Verse]
        G                             Bm
Once re-ality's your roommate and the truth stands at your door
         C                                 D
All your records may been broken, trophies won't shine anymore
       G                                      Bm
New be-ginnings are the challenge, but you're not where to start
     Am7                                 D
Unim-agined gifts are waiting, love will find your grateful heart

[Chorus]
           Am           D
And then a-gain, once a-gain
         Am7                                 D
You will come to know the simple man, you've always been

[Bridge]
            G
And someone asked me once, where do we go when we arrive
          C                Cm        D
If you're lucky, when it's over, the dreamer's still alive
          G
A blessed mystery, for sweeter souls did not survive
              C                      D
But if you're lucky, when it's done, somehow deep inside
                      G      D
The dreamer's still a-live

[Outro]
Am                  D     Am                        D                G
  The anger will be gone,   and the cynic will move on and if you're lucky
