intro : | Fmaj7 G6 | x2

Fmaj7 G6
when i think of all the sorrow
Fmaj7 G6
it is hard to take a breath
Fmaj7 G6
people fighting one another
Fmaj7 G#
and i feel there’s nothing left
when i feel there’s nothing left

chorus :

C F C F C F C
hey! cut me loose , now i’m feeling fine , yeah , i’m feeling fine
C F C F C F C
shake worldly blues , now i’m feeling fine , yeah , i’m feeling fine
C F C F
we’re just like traffic in a big town
C G
you’d better stop , you’d better slow down!

| Gm Cm |

and the man i know is sleeping
( no , he’s gone )
until those northern spirits send
all the magic of a kind word
( of afar )
you will always be a friend
we take comfort in them

chorus

la la la la , woo!

break ( verse progression )

and you never see your brother
( he’ll cut work )
you’ll make him smile so see him someday
( walk and wait )
if we’re happier tomorrow
( hope we’ll try )
we’ll be living for today
we’ll be living for today
