Start Jamming...
I need a hat to hide under.
I need [F] some shoes to fill.
[A] I need a coat to curl up in so that I can dream again.
And a broken [C#] watch so that I can just stand still.
Because this [F#m] whole world is going crazy.
[F] I just can't find my place.
[A] I've got no scheme to come up with,
no time to keep up with this red [C#] race.
I just want to make this [B] world a better [F#m] place for everyone.
[Bm]
I [E] don't want to run [A] in the [F#] human race.
[E] [B] [F#]
[E] [B] [F#]
[E] [Bm] [F#]
[E] [B] [F#m] Love the [E] world, but not to get me high.
[C#] These easy bucks [C] are busting my sleep out.
[F#] It's like marking up on the [E] ground.
I'm sleeping now, and [C#] I'm not sleeping.
And this [Bm] song is coming out.
[F#] So I bend right [E] down just to tie my shoes.
[C#] I'm on the pavement, so [B] hard to [F#m] get in the blue.
I've got to keep on turning [E] on, singing the triumphant [C#] song.
Give me love, because I've got nothing to [F#] lose.
I get the taste of [E] my people, call my people.
[C#] I'm getting out the door.
I'm learning [B] more, but the experience of my heart grows.
And my [E] blood grows.
I'm feeling lighter in life, like a feather.
I'm [C] burning brighter [B] like the sun.
[A] And I think [C#] I like what I have [F#m] become.
Oh, yeah.
[Bm] Hey.
[A] I'm going to just [Bm] sit back, relax, and let the river flow.
[A] Take me where it's going to go.
[Bm] Hey.
[A] I'm going to be just like the leaf, and let [Bm] the gentle breeze
take [A] me wherever it [G#] pleases.
[F#] [E] [C#]
[B] [F#] Oh, yeah.
[E] [C#]
[C] [F#] [E] When all around me life surrounding [Bm] me like a magic show.
I [F#] can't imagine being born [E] when there's so much left to know.
I'll never stop learning, because there's [Bm] always room to grow.
[F#] I've been [E] walking down the city streets.
[C#] So much division and [Bm] confusion, everyone playing it low key.
[F#] I pictured somebody screws [E] up an angry car horn beats.
[C#] Every corner a crooked policeman creeps
[F#] The dead are [E] known as a better place where we [C#] can know
A beautiful land for love of [B] a man that can make a mess
That can [F#] no one give a damn
[E] And no one make a plans of future fantasy
[C#] What tells you what to [B] be
[A] I call this new [C#] land reality
[F#m] Woah woah woah yeah
[Bm]
[A] I'm gonna just [Bm] sit like we land
And let the river flow, [A] take me where it's gonna go
[Bm]
[A] And I'm gonna be just like a leaf and [Bm] let the gentle breeze
Take [A] me wherever it leads
[D] [C#m] I'm not looking for no [Bm] trouble
I just wanna go have fun
[C#m] Spend all my days in the sun
And I know that's the best I [Bm] ever
To any kind of weather is [A] fine
I never live a [F#] good time
And if the words are [E] rhyme it [C#] doesn't matter
Cause the ones we've been [Bm] spoken of
The truth can be shown
Because [F#] if the words we choose [C#] never quite be this right
We'll make the language we like
I'm [F#]
[Em] [C#] [Bm] [F#]
