Better Off As We Are

Intro:   Em  C  G  D   x4

Em       C                 G                     D
We sat around at night and talked about so many things
Em            C        G               D
  Lay on the floor till the morning appeared
Em             C       G                D
You laughed at me and said I just don't get it
Em                    C                 G              D
You said we should be making plans for getting out of here
Em    C     G    D    Em   C     G    D
uh huh…

  Em       C          G             D
Somebody told me when I was just a little kid
Em            C           G             D
Don't follow leaders just think for yourself
    Em         C          G           D
But everybody minds everybody else's business here
  Em           C                  G        D
Why can't they turn their eyes to somebody else
Em    C     G    D    Em   C     G    D
uh huh…               oh oh ohh…


Refrão -------------
         G
Tell me no use thinking
F        C       G
We could ever be something
F        C             G
We could rise with the stars
F      C         D
Better off as we are

My older brother he left the day he finished school
Moved down to New York to Washington Square
He calls me up and says you should come and see me
Watch the waves of people rolling everywhere
uh huh…          oh oh ohh…

Chorus

Late in the evening I'm up in my room
Trying to think of nothing clear away the day
I lie awake and let my body wander
Up into the moonlight floating away
uh huh…          oh oh ohh…

Chorus
