[Verse]
CThere once was a time that we knew Emdamn well we'd be wise beyond our Amyears
now we're old and it Fseems we're getting dumber
Cthere once was a rhyme that would bring peacefulness to both of our Amears
but this music lets us Fknow that we're not getting any Cyounger
C Am Dm C Am F
My Cmother would not be proud of my Emmouth, but I can't get a sentence Amout
without some sacrilege or Fsounding like a sailor
CEvery time I go home for the Emholidays and tell her how it's Ambeen
the look on her face says it's Fobvious I have Cfailed her
Am F C Am
[Chorus]
GBut you don't know
No, Fyou can't go where I've Cbeen
GAnd I don't know
FNo, I'll never get where I'm Cgoing
[Verse]
And Cevery day I hear somebody say something like "Yeah, I just got Amback
from China backpacking and Fgiving food to children"
CI have never strayed too far away from this east coast where I remaAmin
In my heart I am so Fenvious I could Ckill them
Am F C Am
And CI am running out of time to do the things I used to say that AmI
Was put on this earth to do Cby God in His Fheaven
CSeems that I believed in something Emthen
Dear lord, what happened to my Amhead?
Now the days go by so Ffast I have no time to let 'em Csink in
Am Dm C Am Dm
[Chorus]
But Gyou don't know
No, Fyou can't go where I've Cbeen
And GI don't know
FNo, I'll never get where I'm Cgoing
And Gyou don't know
