        A 
Well on top of me you look this way 

saying to me that I would say 
Dm 
every little creature that lives alone 
E                                     Am 
time gets enough to get him sit right down 

Am 
and now time's a reaching and I'm not there 

and in the end and I am said/sad 
Dm 
all the little people, they're in your way 
E                                     Am 
and a something..... someone to bowl with 
        Am 
and I'm tired 
        Am 
but I'm older 
       Dm 
and I said that I was wrong 
    Am 
and I'm not going that way 
    Am 
see I ain't going that way 
    Am 
and I'm not going that way 
    Am 
and I'm not going that way 

in a church wehn went in your in that fate 
bring it down and a past in your visit 
all the little poeple that run around 
and I touch them someone that's underground 

and hes always 
from the corpses 
and all a trying yaw yaw yaw (well that's what it sounds like) 
finally a part of something new 
I'll show them all back home 

where's the child I overheard? 
and I'm not going that way 
i'm not going that way 
I'm not going that way 
cause I always go your side in
