[C]Oh, brother I [Em]can’t, [G]I can’t get [C]through. [Em] [G] I’ve been [C]trying hard to [Em]reach you [G]’Cause I [C]don’t know what to [D]do.

[C]Oh, brother I [Em]can’t [G]believe it’s [C]true. [Em] [G] I’m so [C]scared about the [Em]future [G]And I [C]want to talk to [D]you. Oh, I [C]want to [D]talk to [Em]you.

You could [C]take a picture of [Em]something you [G]see. [C] [Em] [G] [C]In the future [Em]where will I [G]be? [C] [Em] [G] You could [C]climb a ladder [Em]up to the [G]sun [C] [Em] [G] Or [C]write a song [Em]nobody had [G]sung Or [C]do something [D]that’s never [Em]been done.

[C]Are you l[Em]ost or [G]incom[C]plete?[Em] [G] Do you [C]feel like a [Em]puzzle, [G]You can’t [C]find your missing [D]piece. Tell me [C]how you [Em][G]feel. [C] [Em] [G] Well, I [C]feel like they’re [Em]talking [G]In a [C]language I don’t [D]speak. [C]And [D]they’re talking it to [Em]me.

So you [C]take a picture of [Em]something you [G]see. [C] [Em] [G] [C]In the future [Em]where will I [G]be? [C] [Em] [G] You could [C]climb a ladder [Em]up to the [G]sun [C] [Em] [G] Or [C]write a song [Em]nobody had [G]sung Or [C]do something that’s [D]never been done. [C]Do something [D]that’s never been [Em]done.

[Am] [C] [Em] [D] [C] [Em] [G] [C] [D] So you [C]don’t know where you’re going and you [Em]want to [G]talk. [C] [Em] [G] And you [C]feel like you’re going where you’ve [Em]been [G]before. [C] [Em] [G] You’ll tell [C]anyone who’ll listen but you [Em]feel [G]ignored. [C] [Em] [G] [C]Nothing’s really making [Em]any sense at [G]all.

Let’s [C]talk, let’s [D]talk. Let’s [C]talk, let’s [D]talk. [Em]
