Crowded House
"Now We're Getting Somewhere"
from their self-titled first record


FIRST VERSE:
C#m
Never used to be that bad
F#m                Ab7
But neither was it great
C#m
Somewhere in the middle then
F#m         Ab7
Content and much too safe

BRIDGE:
E                                 B
Oh tell me please why it takes so long
C#m    F#m                        B
To realize when there's something wrong

CHORUS:
           E             A
Oh lay me out with your heart
          B
Now we're getting somewhere
        E           A
Push me back to the start
          B
Now we're getting someplace
        E          A
Take it out let me breathe
          B
Now we're getting somewhere
              E           A
When I'm with you I don't care
         B
Where it is I'm falling

We got some work to do
