GUN - Watching the World Go By  (Album Gallus from 1991)

Intro is same chords and order as verse
--------------------------------------------------------
G       Cadd9             G               D
You say it just scares you when look around
G              Cadd9             G D/Dsus
Things never ever had to be this way
G              Cadd9              G               D
Sometimes when I look at friends, I just see myself
G              Cadd9           G D/Dsus
Now leaving is the price I have to pay

_______________________________________________________

Am
Wish me well
C
You know I've gotta go
           G
You know I've gotta go
              D/Cadd91
I've done my time

Chorus_______________________________________________________

G      Cadd9  G               D
Living without freedom within
G               C      G      D/Dsus
And I'm torn and divided inside
G                Cadd9
Nothing left to give
G                D
Nothing left to lose
G               Cadd9            G
And it's time I've decided to say goodbye

Verse 2________________________________________________

G       Cadd9             G                    D
You say you can never tell what tomorrow brings
G                  Cadd9                           G D/Dsus
But I've been there and I've walked that road before
G                       Cadd9             G      D
Things can change and I look back at the memories
G                    Cadd9                       G D/Dsus
As the night falls, another dream just slips away

I've done my time

G               C      G      D/Dsus
And I'm torn and divided inside
G                Cadd9
Nothing left to give
G                D
Nothing left to lose
G               Cadd9            G
And it's time I decided to say goodbye
G
Say goodbye

Break_______________________________________________________

F
Born to live till the day we die
C
People talk, tell me who decides
G                       G/Cadd9
Days just pass you by

Life will pass you by
F
Had enough of the same old scent

Same old faces

And I watch my world go by

Somebody help me
