Intro: G

Verse 1 

G 
I used to work it out with my head in a cloud 
                             D  C 
A record machine playin' out loud 
                       G 
I guess my fate had to turn 
D                    C 
Followed a star to a candle that burned 

G                             
Bag full of crackers an' chocolate bars 
                             D   C 
Breakin' my back, sleepin' in cars 
                        G 
Ha! I always woke up in doubt 
D                         C 
Well, now I know what the fuss is about 



Em       C 
Way out, out of the blue 
G            
I met a young girl 
D  
It could've been you 
Em             C 
Hey, what was I supposed to do 
G                        D 
I didn't want to fall in love 


  

Verse 2 

G   
Try to keep sane an' savin' the light 
                                      D   C 
Two things to do when you can't fight the night 
                     G 
I always lay down in doubt 
D                         C 
Well, now I know what the fuss is about 

 

Em       C 
Way out, out of the blue 
G            
I met a young girl 
D  
It could've been you 
Em             C 
Hey, what was I supposed to do 
G                        D 
I didn't want to fall in love 

Interlude 

Am   C                    Em             D 
 Sometimes you don't decide for yourself 

Am   C                    Em             D 
Sometimes you don't decide for yourself 

Am   C                    Em             D 
Sometimes you don't decide for yourself
