Lyrics

Where are you go (Gsus2)ing

with your long (Gmaj7)face

pull ing (Asus4)down?

Don’t hide a (D5)way

like an o (Gsus2)cean,

but you can’t (Gmaj7)see but you can

smell and the (Asus4)sound

waves crash (D5)down.

I am no (G)Su per man,

I (D5)have no rea sons

for you.

I (D5)am no (G)he ro, oh, that’s for sure.

But I do know one (Gm)thing

is where you are is where I be long.

I do (Cmaj9)know where you go

is where I want to be.

Where are you go (Gsus2)ing?

Where do you go?

Are you look ing for an swers

to ques tions un der the (Asus4)stars?

Well, if a long the way

you are grow ing wea (Gsus2)ry,

you can rest with (Bm7)me un til a bright er (Asus4)day and you’re o kay.

Where are you go (Gsus2)ing?

Where do you go?

Where do you go?

Where are you go (Gsus2)ing?

Where do you go?

I (D5)am no (G)Su per man,

I (D5)have no an swers

for you.

I (D5)am no (G)he ro, oh, that’s for sure.

But I do know one (Gm)thing

is where you are is where I be long.

I do (Cmaj9)know where you go

is where I want to be.

Where are you go (Gsus2)ing?

Where do you go?

Tell me, where are you go (Gsus2)ing?

Where...

Yeah, let’s go.
