[F] [D] [F] I've been [G] [Bb] going through the motions, [F]
it's a means to an end, it's no [C] sin.
[F] Walking around, living the [Bb] dream, anytime I take [F] a notion, till the truth comes bubbling up [C] somewhere to swim.
[Bb] Ain't no point in not saying [F] you ain't living, like the maker of the old heart of gold.
You ain't got [C] no train, [Bb] I don't need to change my [F] strings, cause the dirt don't hurt the [Bb] way I sing.
[F] Holding down an empty room, I've been [C] sitting right [F] awake.

[Dm] Well I've been [Fm] waiting on a day when we'd trace, [Bb] come and take [F] my whole day.
There'll be nothing left to [C] special, [F] staring at a puddle of mud in my spoon.
[Bb] Couldn't be much more, [F]
hoping in a circle on a paper note, I'll write [C] a letter to the stars.
[F] And I [Bb] hope now I'm just telling on, [F] the way this crooked [C] smile, is [F] staring down on the day I'll be free.
[C] Said [Bb] son, if you ain't having fun, [F] you better know how, mommy's gonna watch her own way, she thinks I'm asking for a little bit more.
