James... we were always friends,
FF          C minorCm D7D7
From our childhood days
Gm7Gm7         C majorC
And we made our plans,
FF       Dm7Dm7   G+G    F/CF/C C majorC
And we had to go our separate ways.
F7/9       Bb majorBb
I went on the road
E7E7       A augmentedA
You pursued an education.

Dm7Dm7   Gm7Gm7         C majorC
James...do you like your life,
FF        C minorCm D7D7
Can you find release,
Gm7Gm7         C majorC
And will you ever change
FF       Dm7Dm7    G+G   F/CF/C C majorC
Will you ever write your masterpiece.
F7/9       Bb majorBb
Are you still in school
E7E7      A augmentedA
Living up to expectations...

You've been working so hard
Gm7Gm7         C majorC
But will you always stay

Someone else's dream of who you are.
