G C/G G G Em
/F#
If I look like home to you and If I am your sign
G C/G Am7 Am7/G D/F#
Don't try to understand it girl When I draw the line
G C/G G C Cm7
It hasn't come to this That you can say I waste my time
G C D G G
Looking everywhere and going nowhere
G C/G G G Em
/F#
For the skies they look so lazy now Heavy are the clouds
G C/G Am7 Am7/G D/F#
There's nothing here that I could learn Or what it's all about
G C/G G C Cm7
You haven't said a thing to me And you talk so very loud
G C D G G
Looking everywhere and going nowhere
Bm Bm C C
Well I think I'll try the circus Or go back to Mexico
Bm Bm Am7 Am7/G D/F#
It's time to make mistakes again It's time to change the show
G C/G G Am Bm
It's time and time and time again To find another way
C C A A/G D/F#
It's time to gather forces And get out of yesterday
D/F# G C/G G G Em
/F#
Because I lost what I was looking for There's nothing left to share
G C/G Am7 Am7/G D/F#
I need to take myself away To be some other where
G C/G G C Cm7
A face, a life, a minute more I don't think I can spare
G C D G G
Looking everywhere and going nowhere
Bm Bm C C
Cause I tell you when you hurt me And you just don't seem to know
Bm Bm Am7 Am7/G D/F#
I inform you that I'm lonely And you still don't think I'll go
G C/G G Am Bm
So if I lie to you and smile a thought It's only halfway here
C C A A/G D/F# D/F#
It's just the circus and I'm singing I'm never really near
G C/G G G Em
/F#
If I look like home to you If I am your sign
G C/G Am7 Am7/G D/F#
Don't try to understand it girl When I draw the line
G C/G G C Cm7
It hasn't come to this That you can say I waste my time
