   Am7                                               Gmaj7
I used to like to walk the straight and . narrow line
   Am7                                           Gmaj7
I used to think that everything was fine
          Am7                                                   Gmaj7              /G  /F#
Sometimes I'd sit and gaze for days through . sleepless dreams
Em     -02000                           C... /G... D... /A/D  
  All alone and trapped in time
Em -02000                    C...  /G...  C...  D...
  All alone and trapped in time
   Am7                                        Gmaj7
I wonder what tomorrow has in . mind for me
       Am7                            Gmaj7
Or am I even in it's mind at all
       Am7                                      Gmaj7           /G  /F#
Perhaps I'll get a chance to look ahead and see
Em               -02000                           C... /G... D... /A/D       
  Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
Em -02000                    C...  /G...  C...  D..
  Soon as I find myself a crystal ball
        Em                 f#             e                C          /G              C     D
But tell me tell me . where I'm going . I don't know where I've been
Em                f#             e                C          /G              C     D
Tell me, tell me, won't you tell me . . and then tell me again
Em                                 f#           e                 C              /G           C     D
My heart is breaking my body's aching and I don't know where to go
     Em                     f#           e           C       D                    E4   E
So tell me, tell me, won't you tell me . I've . . . . just got to know

Written by Tommy Shaw / Styx.

Note: The above arrangement is different.
They don't redo that oh tell me tell me part again
I just love it so . . . I need to do it twice.
Also, during an extend break on bridge 2.
Tommy wails on that poor fiddle in glorious ways
I can't quite comprehend much less play
So for now hafta skip it
Afterwards Dennis DeYoung raises clasped hands
in victorious salute - boys . . . think this guy gets the gig!
Skipping that too for now . . . unless Tommy drops by . . .
