Ab Eb
Things had gotten out of hand
Ab
We had ceased to understand
Eb
What had started out as fun
Ab
Has now become a loaded gun
Fm
Wish we could start again this time
Ab
But things would be the same old mess
Eb
We'll have to leave it now behind
Ab Eb Ab
Hoping you'd find your own address
Ab Eb
You know I'm headed for the sun
Ab
And you are reaching for the blind
Ab Eb
I can hardly find the words
Ab
And you can hardly find your mind
Fm
Wish there was something I could say
Ab
To make things better or OK
Eb
You think you're right all of the time
Ab
So what's the use to speak my mind
Db Ab
And I know you well
Db Ab
And I know it's hell
Db Ab Bbm
You've got to kick this thing alive
Eb
And if you look upon my list
Ab
Number one is to survive

And I know you well

And if you look upon my list

Number one is to survive
