Am D
even if we don’t know where we are , it’s gotta be somewhere great

i store a cyclops for a week with hard – tack in the clink
if ever he would bat a lid i thought it was a wink
but the world is flush with monocular mush and dingbats to despise
you find they’re not thinking , just narrowly blinking
but never quite cleaning their eyes
( chords in the chorus can be played over the solo )
G C Am
we’ve come so far , even if we don’t know where we are
D
it’s gotta be somewhere great
B G
man , i don’t even know what you’re saying
C Am
but i can’t wait for more of this to come my way
D
’cos you take what you get and you try not to think
B Em
or Am i just too tired , or Am i just too tired to wink?
