Song: Better Off As We Are Band: Blue Rodeo Album:Nowhere To Here Label:Warner Music Canada Written by: Greg Keelor/Jim Cuddy Tabbed/Chorded by: ultimatelefty This is a great song so I decided to do it. Can't understand why Nowhere To Here is considered a lesser album, personally I think it's great! Anyways, please rate, comment, and enjoy! This is the main guitar part for the verse, you can just do simple strummings of the chords... that works too

We sat around at night and talked about so many things 

Em         C              G         D
lay on the floor till the morning appeared 

Em             C      G                     D
you laughed at me and said I just don't get it 

Em                    C                G                 D
you said we should be making plans for getting out of here

Somebody told me when I was just a little kid

Em           C            G          D
don't follow leaders just think for yourself 

Em            C          G               D
but everybody minds everybody else's business here 

Em             C                  G           D
why can't they turn their eyes to somebody else

Tell me no use thinking 

F        C            G
we could ever be something 

F        C             G
we could rise with the stars 

F      C         D
better off as we are

My older brother he left the day he finished school 

Em            C           G          D
moved down to New York to Washington Square 

Em          C      G                        D
he calls me up and says you should come and see me 

Em                 C             G          D
watch the waves of people rolling everywhere

Late in the evening I'm up in my room 

Em                 C       G              D
trying to think of nothing clear away the day 

Em    C         G           D
I lie awake and let my body wander 

Em          C         G        D
up into the moonlight floating away 
Em C G D (x2)
        G
Tell me no use thinking

we could ever be something

we could rise with the stars
