G
I used to work it out with my head in a cloud
                              D  C
A record machine playin' out loud
                        G
I guess my fate had to turn
D                     C
Followed a star to a candle that burned

Bag full of crackers and chocolate bars
Breakin' my back, sleepin' in cars
Ha! I always woke up in doubt
Well, now I know what the fuss is about

Chorus:
Em       C
Way out, out of the blue
G
I met a young girl
D
It could've been you
Em            C
Hey, what was I supposed to do
G                         D
I didn't want to fall in love

Try to keep sane and savin' the light
Two things to do when you can't fight the night
I always lay down in doubt
Well, now I know what the fuss is about

Chorus

Am C                  Em            D
Sometimes you don't decide for yourself
Sometimes you don't decide for yourself
Sometimes you don't decide for yourself

Way out, out of the blue
Hey, what was I supposed to do
