Verse 1:

Gmaj9                 G6
 I keep looking for a place to fit in,
      F9             Bm7/E
Where I can speak my mind.
Gmaj9                     G6
 I've been trying hard to find the people,
     F9               Bm7/E  E7b9
That I won't leave be-hind.

Bridge 1:

     Cmaj7     C/D     C6       Gadd9       Em7   Bm7/E
They say I got brains, but they ain't doin' me no good.
            E     E7b9
I wish they could.

C6         D6              C6       D6
 Each time things start to happen a-gain,
  C6          D6              C6          D6                  D7
I think I got something good goin' for my-self, but what goes wrong?

Chorus 1:

Am7               D
 Sometimes I feel very sad,
Am7               D
 Sometimes I feel very sad,
(Something put my heart and soul into).
Am7               D
 Sometimes I feel very sad,
(Something put my heart and soul into).

Verse 2:

Gmaj9                 G6
 Every time I get the inspiration,
   F9                 Bm7/E
To go change things a-round.
Gmaj9                    G6
 No one wants to help me look for places,
      F9                  Bm7/E  E7b9
Where new things might be found.

Bridge 2:

Cmaj7        C/D   C6      Gadd9        Em7         Bm7/E
 Where can I turn, when my fair-weather friends cop out?
                E     E7b9
What's it all a-bout?

C6         D6              C6       D6
 Each time things start to happen a-gain,
  C6          D6              C6          D6                  D7
I think I got something good goin' for my-self, but what goes wrong?

Chorus 2:

Am7               D
 Sometimes I feel very sad,
Am7               D
 Sometimes I feel very sad,
(Something put my heart and soul into).
Am7               D
 Sometimes I feel very sad,
(Something put my heart and soul into).
