INTRO:  G

VERSE:
 G
Here it is, it's summertime
Em
  Still I haven't felt my sigh
F                   C
  And the years are over too
 G
since I'm gone

 G
And my daddy wonders why
Em
How I look and make him proud
 F             C
But I'll carry on his name
 G            F
when he dies


CHORUS:
Em                      Bm
  Though the years have had their pain
Am            G
I'll continue on again
F              C           G
'Til I find a road that I can travel
 Bm    Am           G    C        G
'Til I    Find my peace, of mine


VERSE:
 G
Papa says to straighten out
Em
  Look at what my life's about
F                 C
  Try to use the head that God
 G
once gave you

 G
And he says I'll be content
Em
  If I take the road he went
F                 C
  But I'll never blame him for
 G         F
what I do


CHORUS:
Em             Bm
  Livin' in a house that's high
Am                       G
It makes you feel your hands are tied
F              C
I only wish I knew when I
 G              Bm
could make and break it
 Am      G     C    G
Finally get inside


BREAK:
 C
Mr. Tunny's seconal
D
  Surely you will make me fall
Am                              B        Bm  E E E E E E
  But you drive me into takin' your hand


VERSE:
G
 On the road that I've been bound
Em
It seems it's time I settled down
F                C        G
 I gotta stop relying on tomorrow

 G
And all I wanna do is sleep
Em
  Every day is like a week
F                    C
  I gotta find some kind of rules
G          F
to follow


VERSE/OUTRO:
G
  And my daddy wonders why
Em
  How I look and make him cry
F               C
 But I'll carry on his name
 G            G  G  F  C
when he dies
