3  -3”   4  -3    -4  4     5   -6  6 5
I keep looking for a place to fi-t
    4    -4  5       4     -3”’ -2 -2” 2
Where I can speak my m-i-nd
 3     -3”    4 -3    -4    4    5    -6     6  5
I've been trying hard to find the people
  4  -4    5 -5     5     4  -4   3
That I wo-n't leave be-hi-nd
 
  3     -3” 4 -4     -6
They say I got brains
 -6     -7    7     -7 -6   6   -6     5
But they ain't doing me no good
-5 6     -6     5 -5 5
I wish they co-u-ld

Each time things start to happen ag-ai-n
-3” -3” -3” -4    -4    4       -4    -4 -4   5   -5 -3”

But what goes wrong
   5     -5     5  -5   5 -4 -4 4 -3
Sometimes I feel very s-a-d  (x3)

 I guess I just wasn't made for these times
 
3  -3”   4  -3 -4   4     5  -6  6 5
Every time I get the inspiration
4   -4      5          4    -3”’ -2 -2” 2
To go change things a-ro-u-nd
 3   -3”    4     -3   -4     4     5    -6     6  5
No one wants to help me look for places
    4       -4    5  -5       5      4    -4  3
Where new thi-ngs might be fo-und
