    Maybe you talk too high, man.

E                      A
    Maybe I talk too slow.

E                            C#m
    But you've got to live a little bit faster

F#                       A
    'cause you've got a little less time to go.

E                             A
    I ain't lost and I ain't searching,

E                                 A
    but then you know me very well.

E               B/D#
    And I can't change the wind

        C#m
    and make it blow the other way.

F#m            A                E
    I'm a fool   and I can tell...




                  F#                B
    ... that I'm alive and that's all,

               F#                          B
    that I can get up just as fast as I fall.

              F#                             B
    And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl.

               F#                         B
    And in the end it doesn't matter at all.

    I don't know about the peo  ple

Continues after the ad
                B              A
    that I read  about in books.

                  E                  A
    And the kings   and queens around  my room

           B                       A
    with their quiet and dirty looks.




           E                A             B
    I know   I should be go  ing somewhere,

                       A
    I just can't arrive.

               E                A
    There's a reason for believ  ing

               E

E     A
