Where I can speak my mind

Gm7/C Bbadd9

I've been trying hard to find the people

Ab9 Dm7/G G7-9

That I won't leave behind

Eb Eb/F

They say I got brains

Dm7 Gm7 Dm7/G

But they ain't doin' me no good

G7-9

I wish they could

Cm7 Dm7/C Cm7 Dm7/C (chords implied by BG vocals)

Each time things start to happen again

Cm7 Dm7/C Cm7 Dm7/C F7

I think I got something good goin' for myself but what goes wrong

Chorus:

Cm7/G /C F

Sometimes I feel very sad

Cm7/G /C F

Sometimes I feel very sad *

Cm7/G /C F

Sometimes I feel very sad *

Harpsichord and flute:

Eb A7+5 Dm7/G G7-9

Cm7 Dm7/C Cm7 F Bb/C /Bb /Ab /G

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

Verse 2:

Every time I get the inspiration

To go change things around

No one wants to help me look for places

Where new things might be found

Where can I turn

When my fair-weather friends cop out

What's it all about

Each time things start to happen again

I think I got something good goin' for myself and what goes wrong

(repeat chorus)

Theremin/winds break (arranged for four guitars):

Bb/F C/D C/D D F/G Eb5

* according to Mark Linett (Endless Summer Quarterly, 12/94), the

layered vocal parts on these lines are:

(lead vocal): Sometimes I feel very sad

Ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into

People I know don't want to be where I'm at

O quando per e, un dia per e [Italian? Portuguese?]
