          Bbadd9                  D7-9+5        Db6       C7
I've been slavin' my mind just to try to find a way out

              Abmaj9              C7-9+5        E+5/Gb         F11
And it's been on my brain just to put the blame       on you

           Bbadd9
I've gotta find a way


        D7-9+5        Gm         Bb13   Bbadd9/D
Just to make my day a useful one


            Ebmaj9                Bbadd9/D
Cause I'm a front row ticket to a nothin' show

     Cm7                       D7-9+5       Ebm
I've got one free pass just to let me know

Bbadd9    D7-9+5      Db6           C7
      Hey babe it's a stagnant time

       Abmaj9                  C7-9+5               E+5/Gb            F11
But it takes more than that to hang my coat and hat        and sleep

           Bbadd9                  D7-9+5           Gm9
I've gotta sweat once more till my bones feel sore

                   Bb13   Bb9/D
I tell you why-y-y-y

            Ebmaj9                Bbadd9/D
Cause I'm a front row ticket to a nothin' show

           Cm7                   D7-9+5
I've gotta crash this prison and not let go

   Ebmaj9                 Gm7/D                    Cm7
My heart's on a sun cloud screamin' for progress

                          F11
'Cause I wa ah  ah   ah  ahnt

I'll keep slavin' my mind just to try to find some kind of light


          Ebmaj9                    Bbadd9/D
I'm gonna burn this damn ticket and think of tomorrow

      Cm7                          D7-9+5
And I won't live this long life in stagnation no more

   Ebmaj9                 Bb(add9)/D
My heart's on a sun cloud screamin' for progress


            Cm7  Dm7   Ebmaj9  C11  F11
Cause I'm a ma   aa    aa      aa   aan

N.C.
And man  ha-a-a-s gotta
