F#
Riding along on the words
of a song in my head
Thinking all day of the
thoughts in my mind never said
C#                F#    C#             F#
I have needed a friend, over and over again
C#
Everyone sings of a God they have known
                       F#
Now I have a God of my own

                F#   B                  F# B
And it's better now, been a long, long time
                F#  B                   F#  B
And it's better now that the words can rhyme

Chorus:
F#          B            F#                   B           F#
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song

Dreaming away, never wishing to be anyone
Never a question or reason to find right or wrong
When I looked at the end, over and over again
Riding along on the words of a song
Thinking my time had all gone

And it's better now, been a long, long time
And it's better now that the words can rhyme

Chorus
