AbThings had gotten out of Ebhand
We had ceased to underAbstand
What had started out as Ebfun
Has now become a loaded Abgun
Wish we could start again this Fmtime
But  things would be the same old Abmess
We'll have to leave it now Ebbehind
Hoping you'd find your own AbaddressEb  Ab  
AbYou know I'm headed for the Ebsun
And you are reaching for the Abblind

And you can hardly find your Abmind
Wish there was something I could Fmsay

Things had gotten out of hand

We had ceased to understand

What had started out as fun

Has now become a loaded gun

Wish we could start again this time

But things would be the same old mess

We'll have to leave it now behind

Ab Eb Ab

Hoping you'd find your own address

Ab Eb

You know I'm headed for the sun

And you are reaching for the blind

Ab Eb

I can hardly find the words

And you can hardly find your mind

Wish there was something I could say

To make things better or OK

You think you're right all of the time

So what's the use to speak my mind

And I know it's hell

You've got to kick this thing alive

And if you look upon my list

You've got to kick this thing alive

And if you look upon my list
