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

F        C            G
we could ever be something

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
