[F#m]
Well [A]
[E]
[D]
[A]
I went downtown walking on the pavement
[E]
Talked to the folks I owe
From the [D] government pitch
I know I'm on the smoke stack
I know [A] I can't take much more
The generation over ain't all [E] country
I'm outside the mainstream
Wishin' I was just [D] a kid
I don't like my family
It brings me down
And [A] I can't take much more
I've been up, I've [E] been down
[F#m]
[D] I've [A] been up, I've [E] been down
[F#] I can't see [D] very clear right now
[A] I said oh, [E] I [D] said oh
[A]
Sex was hard to run
I threw my first [E] ring on
In the stairways I hit
[D] Just a brief breath
Swallowed hurricane law
I'm still a [A] nasty brat
And I can't take much more
Deadlines on time
Hangin' on to [E] close my gown
On the street, yeah
Lookin' for a [D] man I asked
For a cop to the gate
Just to keep [A] my spirit
I can't take much more
I've been up, I've [E] been down
My [F#m] friends [D] have come and [A] gone
I've been up, I've [E] been down
[F#m] I can't see [D] very clear right now
[A] I said oh, [E] I [D] said oh
[A] [Am]
[E] [Am]
[D] [A]
[E]
[D]
[Am] [A]
Listen to the radio
Don't know where to [E] go right
On a cyclone in a window
[D] Countryside walk
Can't hear [A] myself talking
I can't take much more
I've been up, I've been [E] down
[F#m] My friends are [D] underground
[A] I've been up, I've been [E] down
[F#m]
I can't see very [D] clear right now
[A] I've been up, I've been [E] down
My [F#m] friends [D] have come and gone
[A] I've been up, [E] I've been down
[F#m]
I can't see [D] very clear right now
