[Verse] G Em7 Dsus4 C5add9
I found you sitting on a suitcase crying
Beneath my feet, I feel the rumble of a subway train
And I laugh out loud 'cause it's the one thing I hadn't been trying
The train came in breathless, the passenger's restless,
you say, "Baby, you'll never change"
[Chorus] G Am7 C Dsus4
You gotta get gone, you gotta get going,
Hey, the world ain't slowin' down for no one
It's a carnival calling out to you
And it sounds like a song, it hits you like scripture,
you paint the picture With colors squeezed from your hand
Weren't you the kid / Who just climbed on a merry-go-round
Hey, look, the world ain't slowin' down
[Verse] G Em7 Dsus4 C5add9
Out on the sidewalk, The pigeons do the moonwalk
I'll be dancing like Fred Astaire
The lampposts are rockin' The whole town is talking Like a fool in a barber's chair
And I get the sensation It's joy and frustration
Like getting caught by a drop of cold rain
Freedom can numb you When there's no place to run to
It feels just like Novocain
[Chorus] G Am7 C Dsus4
You gotta get gone...
[Bridge] G (x2) C5add9 Dsus4
You packed up all your handbags
You're throwing off the sandbags
I let go when you stepped free
[Verse] G Em7 Dsus4 C5add9
I didn't want to lose you
You said, "You didn't choose to --
It's just how your karma came"
But thanks for the vision,
And the twenty-twenty wisdom
It hit me like a south-bound train
[Chorus] G Am7 C Dsus4
You gotta get gone...
