Bm                      G
There's a promise of an open road
  D             A
A wanderlust awoken
Bm                    G
But that promise is a pinky swear
         D            A
And it’s likely to be broken
Bm                      G
Throwing dollars at the desperate times
D                   A
Begging, borrowing, sometimes thieving again
Bm                    G
But God knows I ain't giving up
       D            A
Broken promises, be damned


[Pre-Chorus]
Em                   G
Oh, man I'm going to feast tonight
           D                       A
If I could just get through to the table
Em                   G
I’m the one with the biggest fight
         Em                  A        G
'Cause I can't go back and I won't go back


[Chorus]
Bm                 G
Hear me talking to myself again
      D                 A
Gonna be someone, gonna be somebody someday
Bm                 G
I'm talking to the walls again
      D                 A
Gonna be someone, gonna be somebody someday


[Verse 2]
Bm                       G
Marley's shrugging off a broken back
     D               A
Just another disposition
Bm                      G
Now I'm stuck here in a graveyard shift
   D                 A
No chance of a new position
Bm                     G
Throwing voices up the empty stairs
         D                   G
It's all goodbyes, see you later, I’ll give you a call
Bm               G
That’s no way to live a life
    D                   A
Not seeing your face at all


[Pre-Chorus]
Em                         G
You said you felt the baby kick today
      D           A
And I had a revelation
Em               G
This town it has tentacles that
Em                   A        G
Pull you back but we won't go back


[Chorus]
Bm                 G
Hear me talking to myself again
      D                 A
Gonna be someone, gonna be somebody someday
Bm                 G
I'm talking to the walls again
      D                 A
Gonna be someone, gonna be somebody someday


Bm    G    D    A   x4


[Bridge]
Em                  G
You're the one good thing I've done
      Em                 A        G
And I won't go back no I won’t go back


[Chorus]
Bm                 G
Hear me talking to myself again
      D                 A
Gonna be someone, gonna be somebody someday
Bm                 G
I'm talking to the walls again
      D                 A
Gonna be someone, gonna be somebody someday
Bm                 G
Hear me talking to myself again
      D                 A
Gonna be someone, gonna be somebody someday
Bm                 G
I'm talking to the walls again
      D                 A
Gonna be someone, gonna be somebody someday
