KEY OF E FLAT


Verse 1

  -5   -5  -5  -5   -5  -3b
You're in con-trol, is there 

-5b -5b -5b -5b  -5b -5b -5b
An-y-where  you want to go?

  -5   -5  -5  -5   -5  -3b
You're in con-trol, is there 

-5b -5b -5b -5b  -5b -5b -5b
an-y-thing  you want to know?

 5  -6  -6     -7  5   -6 -6  -6
The fu-ture's for dis-cov-er-ing

 -8   -8  -7   -7    7    7   -6  -6
The space in which we're tra-vel-ling

Verse 1 pt 2

 -7  -7   -6 -6 -6b  -6    -6b
From the top of the first page

-6b -6b -5 -5  4   -5  -5b
To the end of the last day

 -7   -7   -6  -6  -6b  -6 -6b
From the start in your own way

(CHORUS)

 5   -6b  -5   -6   -6 -6 -6 -6b  -6
You just want some-bod-y lis-ten-ing 

-6b -7   -6  -6
to what you say

-7  -7  -7   -7  -6  -6 -6b -6b
It does-n't mat-ter who you are

-7  -7  -7   -7  -6  -6 -6b -6b
It does-n't mat-ter who you are

VERSE 2

-5  -5  -5  -5  -5   -5 -3b -5b  -5b   -5b
Un-der the sur-face try-ing to break through

-5  -5  -5  -5 -3b  -5b -5b -5b
De-ciph-er-ing the codes in you

-8 -8 -8  -8  -7     7   7 7  7
I need a com-pass, draw me a map

 -8 -8  -7  -7  7   7    -6  -6
I'm on the top, I can't get back


Same as Verse 1 pt2
The first line on the first page
To the end of the last page
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are

(CHORUS TWICE)

-5 -6b -6b -6 -6b -6 -6b  -6  -6b
Is there a-ny-bo-dy out there who

-6  -7   7   -7   7   -7   7  -7
Is lost and hurt and lone-ly too

 5    5    -8   8   -8   8   -8   8  -8 -6b 7
Are they bleed-ing all your col-ours in-to one

 -7  7  -8  -7  -6  -6b
and if you come un-done

-6 -6b  -6   -6b  -6   -6b
As if you'd been run through

 -6  -7  7  -7   7    -7   -7
Some ca-ta-pult had fired you

 5   -8  8  -8   8    -8      -8 -6b  7
You won-der if your chance’ll ev-er come

-5  7    7     -8  -7    -6  -6b
Or if you're stuck in square one

ENJOY!!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
