[Verse 1]
G D G D
I want to kill this man, but he turned around and ran
C D C D
I'll kill him with karate that I learned in Japan
G D G D
He wouldn't see my face, I wouldn't leave a trace.
C D C D
I wouldn't use a bullet, cause a bullet's a disgrace.
[Chorus]
Em Bm Em Bm
Aw, Mom I never thought that I was a murdering man
C G C G
But tonight I'm on my way, tonight I'm on my way
[Verse 2]
G D G D
There's this drawer that I know, in a house up the road
C D C D
That's full of things that are easily sold
G D G D
When they go out of town I could go and snoop around
C D C D
And make myself rich, off the things that I found
[Chorus]
Em Bm Em Bm
Aw, Mom I never thought that I was a stealing man
C G C G
But tonight I'm on my way, tonight I'm on my way
[Verse 3]
G D G D
I was sitting on the bleacher, staring at the speaker
C D C D
Reading his lips, but I could not understand
G D G D
So I opened up my ears and clearly I could hear
C D C D
This detailed story all about a grain of sand
[Chorus]
Em Bm Em Bm
Aw, Mom I always dreamt of being a good listener
C G C G
So tonight I'm on my way, tonight I'm on my way
[Verse 4]
G D G D
There's this kid you gotta meet, he lives across the street
C D C D
Hes got spirit and heart, we're ten years apart
G D G D
He is up for anything, he can hang with anyone
C D C D
He still likes the things, we used to think were fun
[Chorus]
Em Bm Em Bm
Aw, mom I never thought that I could have a friend
C G C G
But tonight I'm on my way, tonight I'm on my way
C G C (D, Riff)
Oh tonight, I'm on my way
[Verse 5]
G D G D
I'm in love with someone, who's as pretty as a flower
C D C D
Her life gives me power, so I'm buying her a ring
G D G D
She makes hats with her hands, she is such an artist
C D C D
I'm her biggest fan and I'm teaching her to sing
[Chorus]
Em Bm Em Bm
Aw, Mom I never thought that I could love no one
C G C G
But tonight I'm on my way, tonight I'm on my way
C G C G
Ohhhh tonight I'm on my way.
