[Verse 1]
Dm                 F
Hear me, women and wives
                      Dm
Hear me, husbands and lovers
                    F
What we do with our lives
                   G
Seems to matter to others
                 F
Some of them may follow
                  Cmaj7
Roads that we run down
          Dm
Chasing tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Dm              F
Many choices to make
                 Dm
Many chains to unravel
                   F
Every path that we take
                   G
Makes it harder to travel
                   F
Laughter turned to sorrow
               Cmaj7
Doesn't get me down
          Dm
Chasing tomorrow

So keep your feet upon the ground
Cmaj7            Dm
And get ready to run

Make 'em pass it to others
                 F
Some of them may borrow

Tears you hand them down
          Dm
Chasing tomorrow
