Standard Tuning.
Intro:
G C/G G C/G G C/G
G Am7 B7 Am7 B7
Verse 1:
B7 G C/G
It's such a drag, to want something sometime,
C/G Dsus4/D B7
One thing leads to another, I know.
G C/G Dsus4/D B7
Was a time I wanted you for mine, nobody knew.
B7 G C/G
You arrived like the day, passed like a cloud,
C/G D C/G Dsus4/D
I made a wish. I said it out loud,
D C/G C/G Dsus4/D
'Loud in a cr-o-wd. Everybody he-a-rd,
D C/G Dsus4/D Am7 B7
'Twas the talk of the town.
Verse 2:
B7 G C/G
It's not my place to know what you feel,
C/G D B7
I'd like to know but why should I.
G C/G Dsus4/D B7
Who were you then, who are you n-o-w.
B7 G C/G
Common labourer by night, by day highbrow
G C/G Dsus4/D B7
Back in my room, I wondered then I
C/G D C/G Dsus4/D
Sit on the bed, look at the sky,
D C/G Dsus4/D
Up in the sky, clouds rearrange
D C/G Dsus4/D Am7 B7
Like the talk of the town.
Chorus:
G D C/G
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday.
G D C/G
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday.
C/G G D C/G
You've changed, your place in this world.
C/G G D C/G Am7 B7
You've changed, your place in this world.
Verse 3:
B7 G C/G
Oh, but it's hard to live by the rules,
C/G Dsus4/D B7
I never could, and still never do.
G C/G Dsus4/D B7
The rules and such never bothered you,
B7 G C/G
You call the shots and they follow.
G C/G Dsus4/D B7
I watch you still from a distance then go
C/G D C/G Dsus4/D
Back to my room, you never know.
D C/G C/G Dsus4/D
I want you, I want you but now,
D C/G Dsus4/D Am7 B7
It's the talk of the town.
Repeat Chorus:
G D C/G
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday.
G D C/G
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday.
C/G G D C/G
You've changed, your place in this world.
C/G G D C/G Am7 B7
You've changed, your place in this world.
(End)
