[Verse]
DWhat you gonna do? I don't know, my friend
But I'm Amopen to sugCgestion if you'll proffer Gtwo cents
GGive me something I can hang a Dcoat on yeah
DNine times out of ten I'm not the guidance type
I've been Amsitting on a Cfencepost for the brunt of Gmy life
And Gnow I need some help to find out Dwhat I feel
[Chorus]
It Amkills     C     G     D    Cthe Dtime until you
AmFill     C     G     D   Cyour Dheart you'll Fsee
FThere's more to you than what you Gthink and need
[Verse]
DWhere you gonna go? I don't know, my friend
But I'll Amtake this road forCever or until it Gdoes end
GHere or there or someplace else man Danywhere
DMaybe to the west where they don't fall down
In a Amcanyon of a Cvalley in a twenty-Ghorse town
GA voluntary rest home where they Dlecture you

BmWe can share our bland opinions
DAbout the quality of air
And Amall will be right
EmAll will be right on Gtop
BmThere's a place in old dominion
DNear that courthouse by the square
Where Amall will be right
EmAll will be right on Gtop of the dayD
