Where I can speak my mind

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/G /C F
Sometimes I feel very sad *
Cm7/G /C F
Sometimes I feel very sad *

Harpsichord and flute:

Eb A7+5 Dm7/G G7-9

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)

Theremin/winds break (arranged for four guitars):

* 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?]
