[INTRO]
C#m A C#m A 

[VERSE]
        C#m                  A
Have you seen the place they keep the dead?
   C#m               A
Do you still have a heavy head? 
    C#m                  A
You work your fingers to the bone. 
   C#m              A
Put on a wooden overcoat. 

[CHORUS]
     E       F#       A
Does anybody know the best way to get home? 
E           F#               A
 It's getting late and I'm afraid of my own shadow. 
E             F#           C#m                 A
 I should get singing before my song's been sung.
N.C.
Youth is wasted on the young.

[VERSE]
     C#m                        A
"You leave this place, you leave your pride." 
     C#m              A
Don't threaten me with better times. 
    C#m             A
You ask me what our future holds. 
     C#m            A
I'll dig a hole and say, "let's go". 
     C#m                 A
Your heart of gold turned into stone. 
      C#m                A
Don't ask what you don't want to know. But I wanna know.

[CHORUS]
     E       F#       A
Does anybody know the best way to get home? 
E           F#               A
 It's getting late and I'm afraid of my own shadow. 
E             F#           C#m                 A
 I should get singing before my song's been sung.
