Fmaj7 Em7 Am9 x2



🎸 Verse 1:
Am9
   I was crossing the snow fields in front of the Capitol Building
                    D7sus4
It was Christmas and I was alone
D7sus4
Strange city, strangers for friends, and I was broke
Am9
  As the carillon sang its song
I dreamt of success
                    D7sus4
I would be the best
I would make my folks proud
D7sus4
I would be happy   It hasn't happened yet
Fmaj7 Em7                      Am9
      It hasn't happened yet   It hasn't happened
Fmaj7 Em7 Am9

🎸 Verse 2:
Dm7
Yes, there are nods in my direction
            Am9
Clap of hands, a knowing smile
         Dm7     Em7
But still   I'm scared again (I'm scared again
I'm scared again)
Am9
  Foot slipped, pebbles fall and so did I, almost
I'm high
        D7sus4
On Yosemite, the big grey wall (Fear of falling)
D7sus4
Where to put my foot next (Fear of failure)
D7sus4
I'm afraid I'm gonna fall
D7sus4                                            Am9
(Be at one with the mountain) I whisper to the air
Am9
(Fear of falling   Fear of failure, failure)
Am9
Fear of losing my hair (Falling, falling, falling )
D7sus4
When is the mountain scaled?
D7sus4
When do I feel I haven't failed?
D7sus4
I've got to get it together, man
D7sus4
(It hasn't happened, it hasn't happened) It hasn't happened yet
Fmaj7 Em7                      Am9
      It hasn't happened yet   It hasn't happened
Fmaj7 Em7 Am9

🎸 Verse 3:
D(bass note)
  People come up and say hello - okay
      A(bass note)
I can get to the front of the line but you have to ignore the looks and
D(bass note)
Yet
I'm waiting for that feeling of contentment
     A(bass notes)
That ease at night, when you put your head down and the rhythms slow to sleep
Am9
My head sways and eyes start awake
Am9
I'm there not halfway between sleep and death
          Fmaj7      Em7                     Am9
But looking into eyes wide open, trying to remember
                      Fmaj7              Em7  Am9
What I might have done, should have done
                                  Fmaj7
At my age I need serenity
I need peace
Em7                     Am9
It hasn't happened yet   It hasn't happened yet
   Fmaj7              Em7 Am9
It hasn't happened yet      It hasn't happened
           Fmaj7     Em7  Am9
(It hasn't happened)
Fmaj7 Em7 Am9

End on Am9
