INTRO/MAIN RIFF x 4

A           Bm        G                    D
  I want to see for myself but not through windows

MAIN RIFF x 2

A                G             D             A             G                 
  The glass will change it all   that seeing through denotes

MAIN RIFF x 2

E          G                Cadd9   G
   I never hoped for anything

D             A              G       D   Dsus4 D
   except for what there was

E                 G            Cadd9     G
   There's always been so many things

D             A              G       D   Dsus4 D
   I'll take another chance 

MAIN RIFF x 4

A             Bm            G               D
  And now I'm standing in line but it's not moving

MAIN RIFF x 2

A             G        D                  A         G
  I hope that somebody   knows what we're doing

MAIN RIFF x 2

E                   G                Cadd9    G
   This train won't know if I feel betrayed

D                  A              G       D   Dsus4 D  
   Somethings were never told
  
E             G                  Cadd9    G
   The driver thinks he's got it made

D                  A              G       D   Dsus4 D
   Because he's as good as gold

MAIN RIFF x 4

A            Bm         G               D
   I want to see for myself the way the wind blows

MAIN RIFF x 2

A               G         D            A          G
   We asked him to retire   he took an overdose

MAIN RIFF x 2

E          G                Cadd9     G
   I never hoped for anything

D             A              G       D   Dsus4 D
   Except for what there was
  
E                 G            Cadd9     G 
   There's always been so many things

D             A              G       D
   I'll take another chance
   
Dsus4 D       MAIN RIFF STARTS x 3
   I'll take another chance

   I'll take another chance

   I'll take another chance
           
              FINAL RIFF
   I'll take a chance
