More Intro Chords
-----------------

G D C G (x4)

Verse 1
-------
G              D        C           G
You know there ain't no street like home
G           D       C    G
To make you feel so all alone
G       D                C       G
So many folk to tell you what to do
G              D              Em          D
But they don't speak the same language as you

1. They   want  to have me  here
2. Have   me    and hold me near
3. Hold me down and  fasten and       tie

Em  D   G        D      Em   D
But the cars are all passin' me
G             D       Em   D
Bright lights are flashin' me
G      D       Em   D  G
I feel life passin' me by

Verse 2 (Same chords as verse 1)
--------------------------------
The fuss is buzzin' in my head
My father argued and my mother begged
It's not their words ain't tuggin' at me
But gotta stretch them, break them, get myself free


{Repeat chorus}
{Fade out with intro riff and singing 'gotta, gotta, gettaway' as many
 times as you like}
