Lyrics

I would like to (Fmaj7)leave this ci ty, (C)this old town into don’t (Fmaj7)smell too pret ty and I can (G)feel the warn ing signs

(D9)run ning a round my mind.

And when I to (Fmaj7)leave this is land, (C)book my self into a (Fmaj7)soul a sy lum and I can (G)feel the warn ing signs

(D9)run ning a round my mind.

So here I go,

still (E)scratch ing a round in the same old hole.

My (Fmaj7)bod y feels young but my mind is ver y old.

So what do you say?

You can’t (E)give me the dreams that are mine a ny way,

(Fmaj7)half the world a way,

(Fm7)half the world a way,

(G)half the world a way,

I’ve been lost, I’ve been found, but I feel feel down,

I don’t feel down.
