verse 1 
C                Em         C           Em 
I've been making music for about eleven years 
  C              Em                C               Em 
I stay inside on summer days, I've drifted from my friends 
   C                 Em             C               Em 
My parents, they are so polite they want me to have kids 
    C            Em              C              Em 
I'm working in a record store to try and pay my bills 

Dm  C  G       Am 
All I  need to do is 
Dm        C         G         Am 
 Make the music and try to be true 
Dm       C         G       Am 
It's not always so easy to do 
        Dm           C              G         Am 
But it's better than sitting around wishing I knew 

Post-Chorus 
       C        Em       C        Em 
Who-ooh, ooh-ooh. Who-ooh, ooh-ooh 
       C        Em       C        Em 
Who-ooh, ooh-ooh. Who-ooh, ooh-ooh 

verse 2 
C               Em           C                 Em 
Here I stand on Saturday watching the E Street Band 
    C               Em              C                 Em 
The boss and little Steven are both singing "Promised Land" 
  C               Em            C                  Em 
A tear escapes my eye because I know he speaks the truth 
C             Em               C                  Em 
Feeling so inspired to write a song that's not as good 

Dm  C  G       Am 
All I  need to do is 
Dm        C         G         Am 
 Make the music and try to be true 
Dm       C         G       Am 
It's not always so easy to do 
        Dm           C              G         Am 
But it's better than sitting around wishing I knew 

Post-Chorus 
       C        Em       C        Em 
Who-ooh, ooh-ooh. Who-ooh, ooh-ooh 
       C        Em       C        Em 
Who-ooh, ooh-ooh. Who-ooh, ooh-ooh
