Verse
G C
Bound for somewhere down the road
G D
With a heavy load on this ever-racing mind
G C
Too much cooking on my stove
G D G
I've stewed myself a traffic jam inside
G C
There's a junction up ahead

And I'm trying to read the signs, but this traffic's made me blind

And I'm a scientist with far too many metaphors
D G D
And far too little data to conclude in time
[Refrão]

And you, you are the indecision maker

You, you are the path unknown

And I, I am the great procrastinator
Am D G
Pondering my way home

I've been busy as a beaver

And I'll be damned if I don't ease the flow

My big fish'll pass me by
G D G
If I don't make my mind up damn pronto
G C
So I took a hike on Offa's dyke
G D
With a song stuck in my head and a blister on my toe

I left my baggage on the bed
G D G
Brought my cobwebs, and to England they must blow
[Refrão]

And you, you are the mystery tour enlister

You, you are the sights untold

Stalling in the road
