Start Jamming...
I don't know where it is, [Bm] but you gotta do it
[E] I don't [B] know where to go, [E] but you gotta be [F#] there
[B] I don't [F#] know where to fall, but I know that it's comfortable
Where?
[F#m] [F#]
I don't know where it [E] is, but I'm putting all of my time
[Bm] And learning to [B] care
[A] And above good [E] rhymes I threw up [F#] somewhere
[B] One love [F#] you threw, made me lose [G#m] my [F#m] perfunctory fear
[B]
Of all [F#] that is around, and of [E] all that I threw
You [A] threw
[Am] [E]
[F#m] [Am] [B] So I knocked [E] on the door, [F#] take a step [E] that is [Am] new
Never been [E] here [G#] before, is there [Em] anyone [E] else who's true?
[Bm] In love with beauty, [E]
[B] playing all of the games
[E] Things to [F#] reach, come [B] late
Is there anyone else [F#m] who has light [G#m] limits here [F#m] yet?
Through the day
[B] [F#] [E]
Together good around, [Bm] and friendly faces
[B]
All the glamour to [E] war on, far [F#] off places
[B]
Is there anyone else [C#] who is through [G#m] with complaining [F#m] about
What's not [B] on too?
So I knock [E] on the door, [B] and I am [E] on a train
[Am]
[E] Going [F#] down [E] the wrong way
To get me home
[F#]
[E] [B]
[E] [A] [C#m] Get me heaven, I am [F#m] Calais or [F#] Denver
[B] [F#]
[F#m] [G#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [E] I was hoping the train was my big number
[A] Talking to [E] Santa Fe in the atchison, [F#] Topeka
[B] But once I [F#] got lost, turned away by [G#m] the crossing hands
[A] To be in [B] the ball, and [C#m] to live, but [D#] what a low man I turned
[F#m] myself
[C] Running around, [B] I don't know what it is to get me home
[Am] [B] I don't know what it is to get me [A] home
[C] [B] I don't know what it [E] is to get me home
[Bm] Got to [E] do it, [A] [E] got to be [B] there

[E] [A] [Em]
