A    E D A

[Verse]
A                        D
Wish I could go way back when
    F#m                        E         A
The truth was real and I could touch her skin
    A                                    D
But I'm caught here in the middle of the world
           F#m                            E         A
Behind the movers and the shakers and the glamorous girls
                 F#m                            E         A
Stuck behind the movers and the shakers and the glamorous girls
A                            D
They don't give a good damn for me
         F#m                    E           A
It ain't cool to be blue in the land of the free
              F#m                    E         A
Said it ain't cool to be blue in the land of the free

[Chorus]
            D            A
Stuck going South by somewhere
E           A
North by no one
                   E
I'm running out of time
            D                           A  E  D
Missing the fire when I lived with desire

[Verse]
  A                         D
I know you've felt the same way too
F#m                          E                 A
Lost in the middle there was nothing you could do
A                                 D
Want to run away want to get back home
      F#m                       E     A
To my sweet little girl and the ones I love
      F#m                       E     A
To my sweet little girl and the ones I love

[Chorus]
           D            A
Done going South by somewhere
E           A
North by no one
                   E
I'm running out of time
            D                           A
Missing the fire when I lived with desire

[Solo]
A  E  A  D  A  E  D  A

[Chorus]
           D            A
Done going South by somewhere
E           A
North by no one
                   E
I'm running out of time
            D                           A
Missing the fire when I lived with desire

[Outro]
             E
I'm dropping out
                 D
Tired of signing in
                        A
Trying to pick up my life
A
Trying to pick up my life
A
Just trying to pick up my life
A
Yeah trying to pick up my life
