[Verse 1]

C Fm/Ab Am Abdim

I woke up with my feet nailed down

Ab Ab-5 C Fm/Ab

And my head moving the speed of sound

C Fm/Ab Am Abdim

Had a dream I was caught in a maze

Ab Ab-5 E E7

And I couldn't find my way back out

C Fm/Ab Am Abdim

Some were born to move mountains around

Ab Ab-5 C Fm/Ab

And some to rot away in jail

C Fm/Ab Am Abdim

I get an itch and when I am scratching

Ab Ab-5 E E7

Everything can go to hell

[Chorus]

F Fm/Ab C Cadd11/Bb

And how far is halfway there?

F Fm/Ab C Cadd11/Bb

I didn't see you on the trail

F Fm/Ab C Cadd11/Bb

Did almost become good enough?

Am G D/F#

Should a good life be so hard won?

F D5 Ab

Is that what our dreams have become?

[Pre-Verse]

C Fm/Ab

[Verse 2]

C Fm/Ab Am Abdim

Sometimes when you're shooting an arrow

Ab Ab-5 C Fm/Ab

It can fly across the sky so proud

C Fm/Ab Am Abdim

I would go all the way to the sun

Ab Ab-5 E E7

If I didn't have to come back down

[Chorus 2]

F Fm/Ab C Cadd11/Bb

And how far is halfway there?

Have you got a car?

Somewhere to sleep?

Someone who loves you?

Something to eat?

I would say you're doing better than most

Ab Ab-5 E E7

Though maybe not as well as some

[Final Chorus]
