Verse 1:

Em7                   G6 (320000@1)I keep looking for a place to fit in,
      F9 (101011@1)           Bm7/E
Where I can speak my mind.
Em7                       G6 (320000@1)I've been trying hard to find the people,
     F9 (101011@1)             Bm7/E  E7b9
That I won't leave be-hind.

Bridge 1:

     C (x32010@1)       C/DThey (x5555x@1)say I got brains,
         Bm7 (x20202@1)       Em7   Bm7/E
But they ain't doin' me no good.
            E7b9
I wish they could.

C6 (03221x@1)       D6 (xx04xx@1)            C6 (03221x@1)     D6 (xx04xx@1)Each time things start to happen a-gain,
  C6 (03221x@1)        D6 (xx04xx@1)            C6 (03221x@1)        D6I (xx04xx@1)think I got something good goin' for my-self,
              D7But (xx0212@1)what goes wrong?

Chorus 1:

Am7 (x02010@1)             D (xx0232@1)Sometimes I feel very sad,
Am7 (x02010@1)             D (xx0232@1)Sometimes I feel very sad,
(Something put my heart and soul into).

Verse 2:

Em7                   G6 (320000@1)Every time I get the inspiration,
   F9 (101011@1)               Bm7/E
To go change things a-round.
Em7                      G6 (320000@1)No one wants to help me look for places,
      F9 (101011@1)                Bm7/E  E7b9
Where new things might be found.

Bridge 2:

C (x32010@1)          C/D (x5555x@1)Where can I turn,
        Bm7 (x20202@1)        Em7         Bm7/E
When my fair-weather friends cop out?
                E7b9
