How we’re gettin’ othDerwise
Without the luxury of leAavin’
 EmThe touch and feeling of free Gis
Untangible technicalDly

[Intro]

Dm Am C G

and

[Verse 1]

Em G

I’ve seen it with my own eyes

How we’re gettin’ otherwise

Without the luxury of leavin’

Em G

The touch and feeling of free is

Untangible technically

Something you’ve got to believe in

Em G

Connect the cause and effect

One foot in front of the next

This is the start of a journey.

Em G

And my mind is already gone

And though there are other unknowns

Somehow this doesn’t concern me.

And you can stand right there if you want

[Hook]

Dm Am

But I’m going on

C G

And I’m prepared to go it alone

Dm Am

I’m going on

C G

To a place in the sun that’s nice and warm

I’m going on

G D A

And I’m sure they’ll have a place for you too oohoohoo

[Verse 2]

Em G D

Anyone that needs what they want, and doesn’t want what they need

I want nothing to do with

Em G

And to do what I want

And to do what I please

Is first of my to-do list

Em G D

But every once in a while I think about her smile

One of the few things I do miss

Em G

But baby I‘ve to go

Baby I’ve got to know

Baby I’ve got to prove it

And I’ll see you when you get there

[Hook 2]

Dm Am

But I’m going on

C G

And I’m prepared to go it alone

Dm Am

I’m going on

C G

May my love lift you up to the place you belong

I’m going on

G D A

And I promise I’ll be waiting for you oohoohoo

(The end goes from Dm Am C and G to Em G C and A over and over again.)
