    Now We're Getting Somewhere

Tom: C#m

Intro:  C#m   F#m   G#7

C#m          
It never used to be that bad
F#m                G#7
But neither was it great
C#m                      
Somewhere in the middle than
F#m         G#7
Content and much too safe
E
Ooh tell me please
                Bsus   B
Why it takes so long
C#m   F#m                         B
To realize when there's something wrong

CHORUS
       E             A
Lay me out with your heart
          B
Now we're gettin' somewhere
        E           A
Push me back to the start
          B
Now we're gettin' somewhere
        E          A
Take me out let me breathe
          B
Now we're gettin' somewhere
              E           A
When I'm with you I don't care
         B
Where it is I'm falling

There's money in the Bible Belt
Hugs for daddy too
Three wishes for eternity
We've got some work to do
Ooh tell me please, tell me what went wrong
Cos I believe there is something wrong

         E                     A
When you took me to your room
                  B
I swear I said surrender
         E                     A
When you opened up your mouth
          B
I saw the words fall out
       E                         A
Though nothing much has changed
                  B
I swear I will surrender
         E              A      B
There is pain in my heart
       E              A           B
We can choose what we choose to believe
