Gm7             C      F             Dm7    G7       F – C
And we made our plans, and we had to go our seperate ways

I went on the road, you pursued an education

Carrying the weight of family pride

Gm7                 C     F              Dm7      G7      F – C
But will you always stay, someone else's dream of who you are?
F7                 Bb      E7                  A7
Do what's good for you, or you're not good for anybody
