James... we were always friends,
FCmD7
From our childhood days
Gm7C
And we made our plans,
FDm7GF/CC
And we had to go our separate ways.
F7/9 Bb
I went on the road
E7A
You pursued an education.
Dm7Gm7C
James...do you like your life,
FCmD7
Can you find release,
Gm7C
And will you ever change
FDm7GF/CC
Will you ever write your masterpiece.
F7/9 Bb
Are you still in school
E7A
Living up to expectations...

James...

|Dm|Bbmaj7|Am7|
Hey...
AbGm7
just look at what a job you've done
C9susCAsusA
Carrying the weight of family pride.
Dm7Gm7C
James... you've been well behaved,
FCmD7
You've been working so hard
Gm7C
But will you always stay
FDm7GF/CC
Someone else's dream of who you are.
F7/9 Bb
Do what's good for you
E7A
or you're not good for anybody...
James
