Lyrics
Verse 1
No one dropped off waiting in despair
Every time I go there's no one there
So tell me where's the soul, where's the soul
Submit it all locked up to hard to lose control
Chorus
I started nothing, I wish I didn't  x4
Verse 2
Wait on a new gonna bet one today
How its only all of us ifs and buts falling dead
Tell me where's the soul Oh, where's the soul
If its been a whole day its time to let it go.
Chorus x4
Verse 3
How often keep givin in to what they say
Wer're too open when we're only showed one way
And with the offer open opportunity to do
To make a mighty step no insoles in my shoe
Chorus x4
Long musical adlibbed interlude with brass (horns) outro.
End with a single guitar with the same rhythm.
Pretty simple chords / song to play.
