C 
When someone asks me where I'm going 
                            C  F C C 
I tell em' anywhere but here  
F        C                C     F C C 
Wherever that may be, I'm there  
F        C                C            F C C 
I'm running from the things I've done  
F        C                 C            F C C 
I've done nothing that you ain't done  
F        C                C      F C C 
So, why am I still on the run? 
F        C                         C      F C C     
The days are short; the nights are long  
F           C                   C    F C C 
When you're singing you're last song.

When someone asks me how I'm doing  
                            C   F C C 
I tell em' I'm doing just fine  
F        C          C     F C C 
Force a smile, justified  
F         C                C       F C C 
I'm half confused, but I'm alright  
F        C                 C        F C C 
Just like every person I'm inclined 
F        C                 C       F C C 
to opinions on your modern life  
F        C                 C        F C C 
Do you wonder why I don't say mine? 
F        C                 C          F C C 
'Cause, you tell me I'm doing just fine  
F        C                 C        F C C 
And, I know we're all just fine.

                       C   F C C 
I tell em' anything I want  
F          C                  C     F C C 
They're baffled by my kiddish pun  
F             C                    C       F C C 
When there's nothing left to do, I sleep  
F         C                C       F C C 
I like my rest, I love to dream  
F         C                      C       F C C 
I was taught to work and then to bleed 
F            C         C       F C C 
Criticize my sloathful feet  
F         C                C 
'Cause I'm living out my dream.
