CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:   C    F    C  F  
CI never cared about the car I'd drive
Or the room I'd sleep or the bus I'd driveF  
Just as long as I could get somewhere
And not get hurt I could breathe out thCere
I know I could be Ffree out there, could be Cme, hmm-Fhmm
CI never cared about the word 'Prestige'
About no inside track or no 'noblesse oblige'F  
Just as long as I could pay my way
And pull my weight and say my saCy
As long as I could Fpay my way, I could Csay, hmm-Fhmm
BRIDGE:
I never had no Amplans, just Gdreams and vague directions
FI would make my Amstand, in the Ghouse of corrections
FNow I'm a man at Amlast, I see that Geverything is changing
FIf you wanna hold on Amfast, the Gfuture needs arranging
CHORUS:
FOoh, ooh, Gooh
CNow I'm looking forward to FyouG  
CNow I'm looking forward to DmyouG  
My Cformer view was backward
My Fbackward view was Amblue
FNow I'm looking Gforward  Cto you (Ooh, ooh)
Ooh, Fooh
Ooh, Cooh
Ooh, Fooh
CLove had a weight, designed to bring me down
My hands would sweat and my heart would poundF  
Now I've learned it and I've turned around
And I hanker for that Ganchor sounCd
I hanker for that Dmanchor sound
Once designed to Cbring me down, ooh, Fooh, ooh
BRIDGE:
I never had no Amplans, just Gdreams and vague directions

CAPO: 4th Fret

C F C F

INTRO:

I never cared about the car I'd drive

Or the room I'd sleep or the bus I'd drive

Just as long as I could get somewhere

And not get hurt I could breathe out there

F C F

I know I could be free out there, could be me, hmm-hmm

I never cared about the word 'Prestige'

About no inside track or no 'noblesse oblige'

Just as long as I could pay my way

And pull my weight and say my say

F C F

As long as I could pay my way, I could say, hmm-hmm

If you wanna hold on fast, the future needs arranging

Now I'm looking forward to you (Ooh, ooh)

Ooh, ooh

Love had a weight, designed to bring me down

My hands would sweat and my heart would pound

Now I've learned it and I've turned around

G C

And I hanker for that anchor sound

I hanker for that anchor sound

C F

Once designed to bring me down, ooh, ooh, ooh

BRIDGE:
