We sat around at night and talked about so many things  
Em            C        G               D  
Lay on the floor till the morning appeared  
Em             C       G                D  
You laughed at me and said I just don't get it  
Em                    C                 G              D

Somebody told me when I was just a little kid  
Em            C           G             D  
Don't follow leaders just think for yourself  
    Em         C          G           D  
But everybody minds everybody else's business here  
  Em           C                  G        D  
Why can't they turn their eyes to somebody else  
Em    C     G    D    Em   C     G    D

My older brother he left the day he finished school

Late in the evening I'm up in my room  
Em                  C         G           D
