Intro: G

G                          Am
So you've set out on you're own 

You've shut up shop 
              G
You're leaving home 
                            Am
You feel no need to settle down 

In the crippled crook 
                     G
Of your earth bound town 
                 C         Am    G
And you've been down this road before 
         C       Am      G
Which is not to say you're bored 
            C        Am       G
Or that you shouldn't want for more 
 C              Am
It's just your expectations... 
          G
Should be lower 

 G                                  Am
There must be something more than this 
                                  G
More than ideal homes or domestic bliss 
                              Am
What is there left for you to do 
  
'Cos you've seen the future 
                 G
And it's nothing new 

                 C         Am    G
And you've been down this road before 
         C       Am        G
Which is not to say you're bored 
            C        Am       G
Or that you shouldn't want for more 
 C              Am
It's just your expectations... 
          G
Should be lower 
          G
Should be lower 

(Solo over verse chords.)


                 C         Am    G
And you've been down this road before 
         C       Am        G
Which is not to say you're bored 
            C        Am       G
Or that you shouldn't want for more 
 C              Am
It's just your expectations... 
          G
Should be lower 
          G
Should be lower
