-------
       F#m            A            E             D        A
Listen up, what's the time, said today I'm gonna speak my mind
        F#m       A          E             D      A          
Take me up to the top of the world I wanna see my crime
       F#m           A        E                D        A
Day by day there's a man in a suit, he's gonna make you pay
        F#m	   	  A		E	   D             A
For the thoughts that you think and the words they won't let you say
Pre-chorus
----------
F#m           Faug       A/E             B7
     One fine day, gonna leave you all behind
Bm7		       D            E
     It wouldn't be so bad if I had time
Chorus
------
D		 A/C#    E
Sail me down the river alone
          D                 A/C#     F#m
I've been tryin' to find my way back home
      D                A/C#
But I don't believe in magic
D           A/C#
Life is automatic
    B7            D                A   (pick "A" like guitar 2 in verse)
But I don't don't mind being on my own
   B7      D                A            A
No I don't mind being on my own
