Intro: G Bm G Em (2x)( Am Em ) 

G    Bm           G 
Coma kid, tell me how I've come to 
            Em 
Follow you around wherever you go 
Am               Em 
Said, ?I don't go where I'm supposed go 
Am                    Em 
And I don't go really anywhere, you know? 

G                Bm          G 
Told me how he's driven by a curse 
                        Em 
'Til he kicked out into reverse 
Am               Em 
Said, ?I don't go where I'm supposed to go 
Am                    Em 
And I don't go really anywhere, you know? 

5x( Am Em ) 
I made up my mind and I don't mind saying so 
I went to meet you at Central Square 
And when I couldn't find you there 
I went walking around the city some more 
People watching with a cold blank stare 

5x( Am Em ) 
And I saw your face in everyone, I swear 
Seems I never get your kick quite right 
I was walking slow to a dirty dive 
I'm so sick and tired trying to change your mind 
When it's so easy to disconnect mine 

( Am Em) (4x)
 
High times, high times 
High times, yeah, I feel fine 
High times, high times 
High times, man, I feel fine 

G             Bm     G 
       Don't pick me up 
                       Em 
I'm fine right where I am 
Am                   Em 
I don't go where I'm supposed to go 
Am 
Where I'm supposed to go
