Oh yeah [Verse - No drums] [C] Still don't know what I [Em7] was waiting for And my [F] time was running wild [G] A million [F] dead-end streets and [C] Every time I thought I'd [Em7] got it made It seemed the [F] taste was not so sweet [G] So I [Cmaj7] turned my [Dm7] self to face [Em7] me [Ebm7] But [Dm7] I've never caught a glimpse [G] Of how the [Cmaj7] others must [Dm7] see the fa [Em7] ker [Ebm7] I'm much too [Dm7] fast to take that test
