C

C                    Am
Everyone is breaking out
               F
Covering the ground
             G
I can only dream of
      C                   Am
While I watch them all go by
                       F
From the corner of my eye
                    G
Wondering what I’m made of

F                Am           F        G
And why I’m the first of the last to know

F                 C
  I’m coming out my way
F                Am   G   F
  I’m coming out my way
                  C
  I’m coming out my way


C                    Am          
Come see it for yourself
                         F
The books there on the shelf
              G
That I never got to
C                      Am
I bought them for the show
              F
So everyone should know
                 G
That I belonged here too

      F         Am             F         G
While I just rehearsed what I hoped to show

F                 C
  I’m coming out my way
F                Am   G   F
  I’m coming out my way
                  C
  I’m coming out my way
F                 C
  I’m coming out my way

C

C   Am   F   G  

C
  I don’t really want to have to go there
Am
  All it ever does is lead me nowhere
F                               G
  All it ever does is bring me down
C
  So I’m going to leave it all behind me
Am
  It can try but I’ll never find
F                                                G
  And I won’t ever be the first of the last to know

C                Am                 F              G
Come now I will take this on hands tied behind my back
      C             Am          F          G
With nothing and no one to help my plan of attack
C                Am               F               G
And all of this self defeat will fall along the track
C               Am               F                G
And for once in my whole life I won’t be looking back

F                 C
  I’m coming out my way
F                Am   G   F
  I’m coming out my way
                  C
  I’m coming out my way
F                 C
  I’m coming out my way

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 1
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: F ↔ Am
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
