C# G#
F year now and nothing much has changed
C# G#
Holed up in a motel in El Paso
Fm G#
This was meant to be my great escape
A#m
But, I got lost along the way
D#7
Amongst free HBO and take-out
C# G#
Going to write my Moby Dick
C# G#
More like scratching lyrics on paper plates
Fm G#
I spent the best years of my life
A#m
Waiting on the best years of my life
D#7
So what's there to write about?
What have I done?
What have I done?
So is this my destiny?
From starlight into eternity
The gods must be laughing down at me
Ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha
F traveling salesmen at twenty years old
Stranded in Ann Arbor with a flat tire
And I watch the sun sadly set
Any younger, I may have wept
Much older, I wouldn't notice
But I was out there in the world
Yeah, then the world, it passed me by
I was telling everyone back home
That I was taking it by storm
Instead, I watched it from the roadside
What have I done?
What have I done?
So are these the best tales I can spin?
F boy waiting to begin
F man with no memoirs
What have I done?
What have I done?
You're young and you're going to be someone
Then you're old and you're ashamed of what you've become
Well, take a look around you, You're preaching to the choir
What have I done? What have I done? (Repeat endlessly, or until your lose your voice...)
