Am          D         A#         C
I've got a word or two  to say about
                 G
the things that you do
Am           D             A#
Your telling all those lies
           C                  G
About the good things we can have
       Am
if we close our eyes

Chorus:
C7
Do what you want to do
     G
And go where your going to
 D#
Think for yourself 'cause
D                      G
I won't be there with you

I left you far behind, the ruins of
the life that you had in mind.
And though you still can't see,
I know your minds made up,
you're gonna cause more misery.

Chorus

Although your minds opaque,
Try thinking more if just for your own sake.
The future still looks good,
And you've got time to rectify
all the things that you should.

Chorus:
Do what you want to do
And go where your going to
Think for yourself 'cause
I won't be there with you
Think for yourself 'cause
I won't be there with you
