Where I can speak my mind

Gm7/C                   Bbadd9
I've been trying hard to find the people
    Ab9              Dm7/G  G7-9
That I won't leave behind

     Eb        Eb/F
They say I got brains
         Dm7        Gm7    Dm7/G
But they ain't doin' me no good
                  G7-9
I wish they could

Cm7       Dm7/C           Cm7     Dm7/C (chords implied by BG vocals)
Each time things start to happen again
Cm7           Dm7/C          Cm7         Dm7/C               F7
I think I got something good goin' for myself but what goes wrong

Chorus:

Cm7/G /C          F
Sometimes I feel very sad
Cm7/G /C          F
Sometimes I feel very sad *
Cm7/G /C          F
Sometimes I feel very sad *

Harpsichord and flute:

Eb  Ab7+5  Dm7/G  G7-9
/  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

Cm7   Dm7/C    Cm7          F        Bb/C /Bb /Ab /G
I guess I just wasn't made for these times

Verse 2:

Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found
Where can I turn
When my fair-weather friends cop out
What's it all about

Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself and what goes wrong

(repeat chorus)

Theremin/winds break (arranged for four guitars):

Bb/F  C/D   C/D    D    F/G   Eb5
   Bb      Bb  Bb   G/A

Cm7    F6       Cm7        F6         Cm7

* according to Mark Linett (Endless Summer Quarterly, 12/94), the
  layered vocal parts on these lines are:

  (lead vocal):  Sometimes I feel very sad
                 Ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into
                 People I know don't want to be where I'm at
                 O quando per e, un dia per e  [Italian?  Portuguese?]
