CHORDS IN THIS SONG

Shapes with capo 2

Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 2 to see the real chords with no capo.

Musical Intro: 8 Bars
Intro

Where will I be?

Where will I go....

Verse One

I know that I'm always runnin, so I hope you'll let me slide.

Lately I've lost some friends, cause I waste their time

I can't help but be a wreck

It seems all that I do these days is stress about..

Chorus One

Where will I be? I'll be?

Where do I go, from here?

Where will life take me?

Cause as I get older, it just brings me down... you know that I am,

Verse Two

Sorry I put you off, givin you the run-around

I make up these appointments, that I can't keep down

I wish I wasn't so crazy, I just can't sleep at night

Awwww.... If I wasted my day

Verse Three

Drownin in my plans, I know I shouldn't lie,

Slipping through my hands, ohh...I try

I know it's not fair, it's not fair - its not

I just - never see it, cause I spend all my time bein

Break

I'm always thinking ahead

It's just that it's leaving me behind

Chorus Three

Where will I be? I'll be?

Where will I go, from here?

Where will life take me?

Cause as I get older, it just brings me down, down, down.

Chorus FourSame as Chorus Three. Tap to open.

Where will I be? I'll be?

Where will I go, from here?

Where will life take me?

Cause as I get older, it just brings me down, down, down.

Outro

I'm always thinking ahead

It's just that it's leaving me behind

I'm always thinking ahead

It's just that it's leaving me behind

I'm always thinking ahead

It's just that it's leaving me, leaving me, leaving me....
