Terry Jacks- Concrete Sea (1972)
[Verse 1]
Em C
I heard some music being played today
D Em
I heard a song but the words were wrong
Em C
It didn't matter to me anyway
D
Some people really don't care what they say
[Verse 2]
Em C
I started looking to the sky today
D Em
'Cause it's so big and it's so far away
Em C
I've got too many things inside my head
D [Refrain]
I wish that I could be up there instead
[Chorus]
Em G
No one is meant to be
Am Em
Living here in a concrete sea
Em G
Everyone, including me
Am [Refrain]
Wishes he could be set free
[Verse 3]
Em C
And then I looked into the ocean blue
D Em
'Cause it's so deep and it's so quiet too
Em C
There's just too many people everywhere
D [Refrain]
I wish that I was down there
[Chorus]
Em G
No one is meant to be
Am Em
Living here in a concrete sea
Em G
Everyone, including me
Am [Refrain]
Wishes he could be set free
[Verse 4]
Em C
I heard a story being told today
D [Refrain]
About a man and just how he got away
Em C
You got to leave the things you grow up for
D [Refrain]
Turn your head and start to swim for shore
[Chorus]
Em G
No one is meant to be
Am Em
Living here in a concrete sea
Em G
Everyone, including me
Am [Refrain]
Wishes he could be set free
Em G
No one is meant to be
Am Em
Living here in a concrete sea
Em G
Everyone, including me
Am [Refrain]
