Intro

C         F       C
I'm gonna keep on living
F                       C
Even though I sometimes do
F                   C
Fantasize about disappearing
D7                G
Down in the ocean blue
C                F         C
Just to get some peace and quiet
         F                 C
From the warfare inside my heart
     F                             C
Well I've been under ear-splitting fire
D7                     G
Ever since we've been apart
     C         F        C
Well I'm gonna wash the dishes
F                           E
Pay the bills and watch the news
             F        G
I've got the tough education
C      Am
No celebration
  F         G      C

(Repeat Intro)

     C         F       C
Well I'm gonna keep on waking
    F                    C
And rising up before the sun
    F                      C
And lying in the dark wide awake
     D7                G
When everybody else is done
    C                 F       C
And sleeping in their beds so peaceful
F                           E
Dreaming with the love they choose
             F        G
I've got the tough education
C      Am
No celebration
  F         G      C

Yodelee yodee yodelee yodelee

    F         G     C
And I'll sign on
    F      G        C
The line beneath my name
    F       G       Am
The road is gone
  F                 G
I can't go back the way we came

     C       F      C
Well neither one of us
F                    C
Really wanna hit the town
   F                          C
We try to keep our friends at bay
D7                     G
Try to keep the gossip down
     C               F        C
Well some folks just want the dirt
    F                       C
And don't even care if it's true
    F                          C
But then again who cares who's talking
    F             G        C
I'm worried for myself and you

    F         G     C
And I'll sign on
    F      G        C
The line beneath my name
    F       G       Am
The road is gone
  F                 G
I can't go back the way we came

     C          F     C
They say one of every two
   F                C
Is bound to be set aflame
F                C
Every level of resentment
  D7               G
Responsibility and blame
     C                F       C
Well now I'm bound to break a promise
F                     E
One I made to God and you

             F        G
I've got the tough education

No celebration
