Waiting For My Real Life To Begin

Going Somewhere
Tabbed by Ian Dulley ([email protected])
The timing here is hard to judge from the tab alone.
I suggest you read this tab whilst listening to the
song to figure out how it goes.
At present I have only given the chords, but there's
some fingerpicking/arpeggio picking going on
throughout the song, just try to improvise, you can't
really make it sound bad.

Come crashing down, down, down, on me

And down this beaten path, and up this cobbled lane
A/B/ C B A G C G
I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again
Chorus:

And you say, just be here now

Forget about the past,
C A G A
your mask is wearing thin
C G D
Let me throw one more dice

I know that I can win

I'm waiting for my real life to begin
Verse:
C
Any minute now,
D G C G
my ship is coming in
