James

Dm7      Gm7                  C  
James... we were always friends, 
F                   Cm  D7    
From our childhood days 
Gm7                 C 
And we made our plans, 
F              Dm7     G       F/C C 
And we had to go our separate ways. 
F7/9              Bb 
I went on the road 
E7             A    
You pursued an education. 
  
Dm7     Gm7                 C  
James...do you like your life, 
F               Cm  D7    
Can you find release, 
Gm7                 C 
And will you ever change 
F              Dm7       G     F/C C 
Will you ever write your masterpiece. 
F7/9              Bb 
Are you still in school 
E7           A    
Living up to expectations...

James... 
Abmaj7                Gm7 
You were so relied upon 
C#9                  Bb      F     A 
everybody knows how hard you tried 
|Dm|Bbmaj7|Am7| 
Hey... 
     Ab                         Gm7 
just look at what a job you've done 
C#9          C          Asus     A 
Carrying the weight of family pride. 
  
Dm7      Gm7                  C  
James... you've been well behaved, 
F                      Cm  D7    
You've been working so hard 
Gm7                 C 
But will you always stay 
F              Dm7       G       F/C C 
Someone else's dream of who you are. 
F7/9                  Bb 
Do what's good for you 
E7           A    
or you're not good for anybody... 
  
James

F7/9              Bb 
I went on the road 
E7             A    
You pursued an education... 
  
|Dm|Bbmaj7|Am7| 
James... 
Abmaj7                 Gm7 
How you gonna know for sure 
C#9               Bb      F     A 
everything was so well organized. 
|Dm|Bbmaj7|Am7| 
Hey... 
    Ab               Gm7 
now everything is so secure, 
C#9          C          Asus     A 
and everybody else is satisfied. 
  
Dm7     Gm7                 C  
James... do you like your life, 
F               Cm  D7    
Can you find release 
Gm7                 C 
And will you ever change, 
F              Dm7       G     F/C C 
When will you write your masterpiece. 
F7/9                 Bb 
Do what's good for you 
E7                     A    
or you're not good for anybody... 
  
James...
