Intro:  / G - - - / x6

           / Em - - - / C - - - / D - - - / - - G - /

 

  G (4)

I sometimes lose my faith in luck

                                                                Em

I don't know what I want to be when I grow up

         C                       D (1½)                                             G (½)

I just count the rain, wearing the floor through the boards again

 

   G (4)

I wish I could find a soul to steal

                                                               Em

I could be the engine, you could be the wheels

                       C                        D (1½)                                        G (½)

And we could drive it home, and never have to worry about being alone

 

 

    G (4)

I never did learn how to follow the rules

                                                                         Em

I never was good at sleeping while the moon was full

         C                    D (1½)                                      G (½)

I just lie and burn, wreck my mind while the planet turns

 

  G (4)

I sometimes wish I could start again

                                                                Em

I'd try and do the right thing every now and then

       C                D (1½)                                             G (½)

I'd step in line, that's what I'd do if I could turn back time

 

Chorus

 

/ G - - - / x4

/ Em - - - / C - - - / D - - - / - - G - /

 

      G (4)

I tell you how I want to live

                                                           Em

Forget about the take, forget about the give

                 C                    D (1½)                                      G (½)

I want to leave this town, fake my death and never be found

 

Chorus

 

Repeat 1^st Verse

 

Outro Chorus:

Em (1½)                              C (½)

Oooh, the things I've have known

   D (1½)                                        G (½)

Looks like I'm taking the hard way home

Em (1½)                     C (½)     

Oooh, the seeds I've sown

D (1½)                             G (½)

     Taking the hard way home

D (1½)                             G (½)

     Taking the hard way home

D (1½)                             G (hold)

     Taking the hard way home
