Chords with lyrics

Somewhere Else to Be
From the album Last Days of Wonder

[Intro]

E MajorE


[Verse]

E MajorE
I didn't wrap my head in roses, I didn't run screaming down the street
      A minorAm
I didn't drive off jagged cliffs
  C majorC        E MajorE
or dive in roaring seas

E MajorE
I broke no cage door open, I set no horses free
       A minorAm
The day the girl at the drive-thru window
C majorC         E MajorE
Softly smiled at me

[Pre-Chorus]

BB
Actually I did nothing
    A augmentedA           E MajorE
as she handed me a large iced tea
  BB
an extra packet of ketchup
     A augmentedA      E MajorE
a small bag of onion rings


[Chorus]

     C# minorC#m       F#F#
I didn't even smile back at her
    A augmentedA         E MajorE
I just pulled into the street
C# minorC#m           F#F#
Searching my rear view mirror
  A augmentedA         E MajorE
To catch her eyes on me
          BB
'Cause there were cars behind me
    A augmentedA         E MajorE
and I had somewhere else to be

[Solo]

E MajorE A minorAm C majorC E MajorE


[Verse]

E MajorE
Down the street I saw an old man eating as he drove
 A minorAm
running over empty cans
 C majorC      E MajorE
lying in the road

E MajorE
But the billboards near the highway were full of singing birds
       A minorAm
and all the trees were blooming green
     C majorC         E MajorE
in their little squares of dirt


[Chorus]

   C# minorC#m          F#F#
Every dog chained in every yard
   A augmentedA      E MajorE
was howling with me
       C# minorC#m       F#F#
But I didn't even smile back at her
    A augmentedA         E MajorE
I just pulled into the street
          BB
'Cause there were cars behind me
    A augmentedA           E MajorE
and I had somewhere else to be


[Outro]
