Go separate ways, 
  
And leave it long forgotten.

I won't be back. 
  
On my way out,

I'm feeling lame.

There's something on my mind, 
   F              G 
It takes my concentration.

F             G 
not today and not forever

 C 
 Take the fame 
               F 
 And change my name 

 Because my jacket's faded 
 Am                 F 
 And I'll change my hat 
                  G 
 No we can't have that 

 (you'll be looking at a brand new cat) 
 C  
 It's all made up. 
          F 
 I've had enough 

 Of this circulation. 
 Am              F 
 If you write me back,

 I'll tell you where it's at.
