Intro:    G    C    G    C  G  
GTired of the sounds of tCalking too Gloud
Of wGalls and of windows which Dalways surround
Of fGeeling my feet attCached to this gGround

Interlude:    G    C    G  D  
     G  C  G  D  C  G
I’m tGired of trudging through Ccities and Gtowns
The sGoles of my sneakers won’t sDtop wearing down
If lGove is so simple, then Cwhere are you Gnow?

I’m sCtubborn and sick of these Emsimple solutions
Of wCondering what isn’t Gright
Of nCot knowing whether I’m Emwinning or losing
I’ll Calways be wondering Dwhy
GTired of spotting these sChapes in the cGlouds
Of rGomantic movies and lDaughing out loud
Of fGeeling alone when I’m sCtuck in the cGrowd
If DI had my way I would jCust have you ‘Ground
If DI had my way I would jCust have you ‘Ground
(single strum chords in this last line)
If DI had my way I would jCust have you ‘Ground
