James... we were always friends, 
F5                   C5  D5    
From our childhood days 
G5                 C5 
And we made our plans, 
F5              D5     G5       F5 C5 
And we had to go our separate ways. 
F5              Bb5 
I went on the road 
E5             A5    
You pursued an education. 
  

D5     G5                 C5  
James...do you like your life, 
F5               C5  D5    
Can you find release, 
G5                 C5 
And will you ever change 
F5              D5       G5     F5 C5 
Will you ever write your masterpiece. 
F5              Bb5 
Are you still in school 
E5           A5    
Living up to expectations...

James... 
Ab5                G5 
You were so relied upon 
C#5                  Bb5      F5     A5 
everybody knows how hard you tried 
 D5 Bb5 A5 
Hey... 
     Ab5                         G5 
just look at what a job you've done 
C#5          C5          A5     A5 
Carrying the weight of family pride. 
  

D5      G5                  C5  
James... you've been well behaved, 
F5                      C5  D5    
You've been working so hard 
G5                 C5 
But will you always stay 
F5              D5       G5       F5 C5 
Someone else's dream of who you are. 
F5                  Bb5 
Do what's good for you 
E5           A5    
or you're not good for anybody... 
  
James

How you gonna know for sure 
C#5               Bb5      F5     A5 
everything was so well organized.

Hey...
