Verse 1
———————
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

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
