| C  | D  |
 
[Verse 1]
C              Em       G         C        Em G
 Oh, brother I can't, I can't get through.
          C              Em
I've been trying hard to reach you
  G       C                  D
'Cause I don't know what to do.
 
[Verse 2]
C              Em       G         C     Em G
 Oh, brother I can't believe it's true.
       C                Em
I'm so scared about the future
G     C               D
And I want to talk to you.
      C                D    Em*
Oh, I want to talk to you.
 
[Chorus]
          C                 Em            G    C Em G
You could take a picture of something you see.
C             Em           G    C Em G
In the future where will I be?
          C              Em        G   C Em G
You could climb a ladder up to the sun
   C              Em       G
Or write a song nobody had sung
   C                   D               Em*
Or do something that's never been done.
 
[Verse 3]
C         Em      G     C Em G
 Are you lost or incomplete?
       C            Em     G         C                  D
Do you feel like a puzzle, You can't find your missing piece.
        C       Em  G   C Em G
Tell me how you feeeel.
        C                 Em
Well, I feel like they're talking
G     C                 D
In a language I don't speak.
             C             D   Em*
And they're talking it to me.
 
[Chorus]
       C                 Em            G    C Em G
So you take a picture of something you see.
C             Em           G   C Em G
In the future where will I be?
          C              Em        G   C Em G
You could climb a ladder up to the sun
   C              Em       G
Or write a song nobody had sung
   C                   D
Or do something that's never been done.
C                   D               Em*
Do something that's never been done.
 
[Solo]
| Am | C  | Em | D  | x4
| C  | Em G |         x3
| C  | D  |
 
[Chorus]
       C                                     Em      G     C Em G
So you don't know where you're going and you want to talk.
        C                                   Em     G     C Em G
And you feel like you're going where you've been before.
            C                            Em     G      C Em G
You'll tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored.
C                           Em       G
Nothing's really making any sense at all.
 
[Outro]
      C           D
Let's talk, let's talk.
      C           D     Em
Let's talk, let's talk.

The gm at the end of verse 3 should be a em I think. It's a em at all the other verses and gm doesn't sound so good there :-) Hope I'm right!
