Watchin It Go

A A Bm E

[Verse]
A
Me, it seems I'm spendin' most of my time
E          Bm                E
Spendin' ten cents while I'm makin' a dime
A                E         F#m              E
Tryin' to make sense out of life's mixed up rhyme
D             E          A
Meantime I'm watchin' it go

A
The butterfly spins in his little cocoon
E          Bm                E
Thinkin' of songs that he'll be singing soon
A                E         F#m              E
So few will listen to the butterfly's tune
D             E          A
Me I'm just watchin' it go

[Chorus]
E          Bm
Watchin' it go
E          Bm
Wantin' to know
E                          A
Where do you go when you've been

[Verse]
A
Poor Cinderella she's bowin' her head
E          Bm                E
Tellin' some stranger what a hard life's she's led
A                E         F#m              E
Glass slipper's sound asleep under the bed
D             E          A
Sadly I'm watchin' her go

A
Prince Charming dressed in disarmin' disguise
E          Bm                E
Flashin' his charms as he's blindin' her eyes
A                E         F#m              E
Mornin' will hear ‘em say their sunshine goodbyes
D             E          A
Me, I've seen a few of them go

[Chorus]
E          Bm
Watchin' it go
E          Bm
Wantin' to know
E                          A
Where do you go when you've been

[Verse]
A
Me, like so many, I've tried so many things
E          Bm                E
Walkin' on crutches and callin' them wings
A                E         F#m              E
Wonderin' who's pullin' the puppeteer strings
D             E          A
Me, I'm just wantin' to know

A
Minds too confined they keep wantin' to roam
E          Bm                E
Lookin' for a life that will leave them alone
A                E         F#m              E
I hear ‘em singin' now they want to go home
D             E          A
Knowin' they never can go

[Chorus]
E          Bm
Watchin' it go
E          Bm
Wantin' to know
E                          A
Where do you go when you've been

E          Bm
Watchin' it go
E          Bm
Wantin' to know
E                          A
Where do you go when you've been
