Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(C---G)

I found you sitting on a suitcase crying

 (C---G)

Beneath my feet, I feel the rumble of a subway train

(C---G)

I laugh out loud, 'cause it's the one thing I hadn't been trying

The train came in breathless,

The passenger’s restless

 You say, "Baby, you'll never change"

Chorus

 You gotta get gone, you gotta get going

 Hey, the world ain't slowing down for no one

It's a carnival calling out to you

 It sounds like a song, Hits you like scripture

 You paint the picture , With colors squeezed from your hand

 Weren't you the kid who just climbed on the merry-go-round

 Hey look, the world ain't slowing down

 He-Hey, hey, the world ain't slowing down

  (C--A5)

Hey, hey...

Out on the sidewalk, Pigeon's do the moonwalk

(C--A5)

I'll be dancing like Fred Astaire

The lamppost's are rocking, The whole town's talking

  (C---G)

Like a fool in a barber's chair

And I get the sensation, The joy and frustration

  (C---G)

Like being caught by a tropical rain

Freedom can numb you,

When there's no place to run to

It feels just like Novo cane

 You gotta get gone, you gotta get going

 Hey, the world ain't slowing down for no one

It's a carnival calling out to you (it’s callin’ out to you)

 It sounds like a song, Hits you like scripture

 You paint the picture , With colors squeezed from your hand

 Weren't you the kid who just climbed on the merry-go-round

 Hey look, the world ain't slowing down

 He-Hey, hey, the world ain't slowing down

  (C---G)

Hey, hey...

You packed up all your handbags,

 Throwing off the sandbags

I let go and you stepped free

I didn't want to loose you , you said you didn't choose to,

(C--A5)

It's just how your karma came."

 But thanks for the vision,

And the twenty-twenty wisdom

It hit me like a south-bound train

 You gotta get gone, you gotta get going

 Hey, the world ain't slowing down for no one

It's a carnival calling out to you (it’s callin’ out to you)

 It sounds like a song, Hits you like scripture

 You paint the picture , With colors squeezed from your hand

 Weren't you the kid who just climbed on the merry-go

Weren't you the kid

 Who just climbed on the merry-go--

Weren't you the kid

 Who just climbed on the merry-go-round

 Hey look, the world ain't slowing down

  (C--A5)

A-Hey, hey, the world ain't slowing down

(C--A5)

Hey, hey, it's a big, blue world

It's a big, blue world

 (C-- x3)

Rock my big, blue world
