[Verse 1]
Emaj7        F#
We chose our names
             Bmaj7
We chose our ways to get by
             Emaj7
It was never enough
A              G#m          G#
But it was enough to survive
                    Emaj7
Now I'm draggin' my feet through the sidewalk
F#                           Bmaj7
This heat's really getting me down
                     Emaj7
But I'll keep coming to
               A
If it gets me to you
             Bmaj7
Hope it turns us around
 
 
[Chorus]
C#m     F#          C#m      F#
  And I found when it goes around
          Bmaj7
  That it goes so slow
C#m   F#               C#m        F#
  And our names aren't quite the same
            Bmaj7
  When they say them wrong
 
 
[Verse 2]
Emaj7      F#           Bmaj7
Sorry to say we'll be expecting delays
                  Emaj7
Now please grab a seat
                     A
Get you something to eat
               G#m               G#
Don't walk too far away from the gate
             Emaj7          F#
And I can't stand it anymore
                    Bmaj7
But I'm still on my own two feet
                  Emaj7                          A
Just wait till we get there (Till we get there)
                 Bmaj7
I hear that it's nice there
 
 
[Chorus]
C#m     F#           C#m     F#
  And I found when it goes around
          Bmaj7
  That it goes so slow
C#m   F#               C#m       F#
  And our names aren't quite the same
            Bmaj7
  When they say them wrong
 
 
[Post-Chorus 1]
G#m7             D#
   We'll be home soon
          Emaj7
Remember yesterday
                  C#7                        G#m
How far we've come today (Look how far we've come)
         D#
We'll be alright
                Emaj7
I thought we'd learn by now
         G#7
A way to live
 
 
[Chorus]
C#m     F#           C#m     F#
  And I found when it goes around
          Bmaj7
  That it goes so slow
C#m   F#               C#m       F#
  And our names aren't quite the same
            Bmaj7
  When they say them wrong
 
 
[Post-Chorus 2]
G#m7             D#
   We'll be home soon
           Emaj7
A warm and cozy bed
           C#7                             G#m
A place to rest our heads (To rest our heads)
              D#
And we'll be alright
                    Emaj7
I thought we learned somehow
               G#m7
A way to live without
