[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 G6
If I ever get around to living
Fmaj7 G6
I’m going to put my things away
Fmaj7 G6
In the drawers and in the closets
G5 * Dm7
And there I’ll stay
G5 * Dm7
Stay
Fmaj7 G6
If I ever get around to living
Fmaj7 G6
It’s going to be just like I dreamed
Fmaj7 G6
I’m going to take the love I’m given
G5 * Dm7
And set it free
G5 * Dm7
Free
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 G6
If I ever get around to living
Fmaj7 G6
I’ll take the end of every day
Fmaj7 G6
Tie it up to every morning
G5 * Dm7
And sail away
G5 * Dm7
Away
G5 * Dm7
Free
G5 * Dm7
Free
[Verse 3]
G5 Dm7 G5
Maybe it’s all a dream I’m having at seventeen
Dm7
I don’t have tattoos
G5 Dm7
And very soon, mother will be calling me
G5 Dm7
Saying, “Come upstairs, you’ve got some work to do”
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7
When are you going to wise up boy?
C Fmaj7
When are you going to wise up boy?
C Fmaj7
When are you going to wise up boy?
C Fmaj7
When are you going to wise up boy?
[Verse 4]
C Fmaj7
You are hiding in your mind
C
Working all the time
Fmaj7
Trying to make it better than you got it
C Fmaj7
And you been spending all your time
C
Searching for a sign
Fmaj7
That’s never going to look the way you want it
[Outro]
C Fmaj7
I think you better wise up, boy
C Fmaj7
I think you better wise up, boy
C Fmaj7
I think you better wise up, boy
C Fmaj7
I think you better wise up, boy
