[Verse 1]
                        Am7  Am7*           Gmaj9  G6sus2  
I used to like to walk the straight and narrow line
                  Am7  Am7*       Gmaj9  G6sus2  
I used to think that everything was fine
                                   Am7  Am7*
Sometimes I'd like to sit and gaze for days
through Gmaj9sleepless G6sus2dreams
EmAll Aalone and trapped in CtimDe
EmAll aAlone and trapped in CtimDe
[Verse 2]
                       Am7  Am7*
I wonder what tomorrow has in
Gmaj9mind foG6sus2r me
                  Am7  Am7*   Gmaj9  G6sus2  
Or am I even in it's mind  at   all
                               Am7  Am7*    Gmaj9  G6sus2  
Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and   see
EmSoon as I Afind myself a Ccrystal Dball
EmSoon as I Afind myself a Ccrystal Dball
[Pre-Chorus]
EmTell me, tell me where I'm going
I Cdon't know where I've been
EmTell me, tell me, won't you tell me
And Cthen tell me again
EmMy heart is breaking, my body's aching
And I Cdon't know where to go
EmTell me, tell me, won't you tell me
CI've just Dgot to Emknow
