[Verse]
EYou can't get there from here, You can't G#mlive on bread and Awater
You heard the G#mone about the farmers Adaughter
She just needs a little atomosBphere
EYou don't pick your occupation, I didn't G#mask for this frustraAtion
I need a G#mlife and an ice cold Abeer, And you can't get tBhere from Ehere
F#mIf I had time I'd think about Eit, IF#m'd build a castle in the Eyard
of all the C#mthings that I can't touch, G#mbut I wanted them so Amuch
F#mwhy's it always have to be so hBard
You Ecan't get there from here, You can't G#mlive on bread and Awater
[Chorus]
You heard the G#mone about the farmers Adaughter
she just needs a little atomoBsphere
You don't Epick your occupation, I didn't G#mask for this Afrustration
I need a G#mlife and an ice cold Abeer, And you can't get Bthere from Ehere
[Verse]
AI'm on a road that's going noEwhere, BLooking for a place where I Ebelong
AThe winds pushing me in all C#mdirections
and none of them look like Bhome, and you know
EYou can't get there from here, You can't G#mlive on bread and Awater
[Chorus]
You heard the G#mone about the farmers Adaughter
she just needs a little atomosBphere
EYou don't pick your occupation, I didn't G#mask for this Afrustration
I need a G#mlife and an ice cold Abeer, And you can't get Bthere from Ehere
