D     A/C#         D/F#        E/G#
Everybody's always looking for Jack
D     A/C#    D/F#    E/G#
In the fire in the water
D     A/C#         D/F#        E/G#
Everybody's always looking for Jack
D     A/C#         D/F#      E/G#

D     A/C#       D/F#        E/G#

D     A/C#    D/F#   E/G#

Yeah I always wanted to be like Jack
D     A/C#    E       A

I'm not sure about the chorus, but the best I could get was:

 D2   D/C#   E2
Someday     Someday
 D2   D/C#   E2
Someday     Someday


The same pattern is used throughout. If you have any better ideas about the the chorus 
please do comment.
