	Gm7/C                   Bbadd9
	I've been trying hard to find the people
	    Ab9              Dm7/G  G7-9
	That I won't leave behind

	     Eb        Eb/F
	They say I got brains
	         Dm7        Gm7    Dm7/G
	But they ain't doin' me no good
	                  G7-9
	I wish they could

	Cm7       Dm7/C           Cm7     Dm7/C (chords implied by BG vocals)
	Each time things start to happen again
	Cm7           Dm7/C          Cm7         Dm7/C               F7
	I think I got something good goin' for myself but what goes wrong

Chorus:

	Cm7/G /C          F
	Sometimes I feel very sad

	Cm7   Dm7/C    Cm7          F        Bb/C /Bb /Ab /G
	I guess I just wasn't made for these times

Verse 2:

	Every time I get the inspiration
	To go change things around
	No one wants to help me look for places
	Where new things might be found
	Where can I turn
	When my fair-weather friends cop out
	What's it all about

	Each time things start to happen again
	I think I got something good goin' for myself and what goes wrong

	(repeat chorus)

* according to Mark Linett (Endless Summer Quarterly, 12/94), the
  layered vocal parts on these lines are:

  (lead vocal):  Sometimes I feel very sad
                 Ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into
                 People I know don't want to be where I'm at
                 O quando per e, un dia per e  [Italian?  Portuguese?]
