DIt's time to Gtear this place down
DI've got the Glast gig on my mind
DNot seen my Gfriends in ages
G*            F#m  G*   Em  
Have i been left be - hind?
DIt's time to Gfigure out why
DI find myGself in custody
DWith each and Gevery question
G*               F#m  G*  Em  
Words come so eas - i - ly
DFly to el Em7salvador
I Bmdon't know why and i F#m7don't know what for
BmI've seen the F#mpicture for myGselfA  
DWhere did that Em7label go?
I Bmtried it out but it F#m7didn't work so
BmI'll choose the F#mpicture for myGselfA  
DIt's time to Gstart all over
DTake only Gone thing spare to wear
            D                     G  G*         F#m  G*  Em  
Head for the check-in lights and get up into   the air
DIt's time to Gtake new measures
DSomeone will Gput us up tonight
DFar from our Gplace of rest
     G*           F#m  G*  Em  
I've almost got you  in  sight
DFly to el Em7salvador
I Bmdon't know why and i F#m7don't know what for
BmI've seen the F#mpicture for myGselfA  
DWhere did that Em7label go?
I Bmtried it out but it F#m7didn't work so
BmI'll choose the F#mpicture for myGselfA  
BmFirst class and F#mbig hotels
Bm(i can't quite put my F#mfinger on it)
BmVideos and F#mglobal sales
Bm(i can't quite put my F#mfinger on it)
BmFree drinks that you F#mpay yourself
Bm(i can't quite put my F#mfinger on it)
Bm                    F#m               G          A
