VERSE
        C#m                  A 
Have you seen the place they keep the dead? 
   C#m               A 
Do you still have a heavy head?  
    C#m                  A 
You work your fingers to the bone.  
   C#m              A 
Put on a wooden overcoat.  
 
CHORUS
     E       F#       A 
Does anybody know the best way to get home?  
E           F#               A 
 It's getting late and I'm afraid of my own shadow.  
E             F#           C#m                 A 
 I should get singing before my song's been sung. 
N.C. 
Youth is wasted on the young.

VERSE
     C#m                        A 
"You leave this place, you leave your pride."  
     C#m              A 
Don't threaten me with better times.  
    C#m             A 
You ask me what our future holds.  
     C#m            A 
I'll dig a hole and say, "let's go".  
     C#m                 A 
Your heart of gold turned into stone.  
      C#m                A 
Don't ask what you don't want to know. But I wanna know. 
 
CHORUS
     E       F#       A 
Does anybody know the best way to get home?  
E           F#               A 
 It's getting late and I'm afraid of my own shadow.  
E             F#           C#m                 A 
 I should get singing before my song's been sung.
