Verse 1
G                                                          C
Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some stubborn leaves
                          Am                                G 
That didn't fall with the fall, and now they clatter in vain
                                                     C 
Holiday sky. Midnight clear. Wind is high, hard to steer
                       Am                    G 
Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane
Ab                                       C 
In search of some rest. In search of a break
                 Am                                  G 
From a life of tests where something's always at stake

Where something's always so far
                      C 
What about my broken car?
                       Am 
What about my life so far?
            D  
What about my dream?

What about,

Chorus
C           G     
  What about everything?
Em             D    
  What about aeroplanes?
C               G                    Em
  And what about ships that drank the sea?

What about...
C               G 
  What about the moon and stars?
Em           D 
  What about soldier battle scars
C            G               D
  And all the anger that they eat?
Em    D    G 
I am not in need.

Verse 2
G
Get away and come with me.
                            C  
Come away with me and we'll see
                       Am                      G 
If I was right on that night, that a future was made
                                                  C 
Before time takes each year, like a knife cuts it clear
                                Am                         G 
It's school, then work and then life that just sharpens the blade
                                                   C 
I think about time for fun. I think about time for play
                         Am                G 
Then I think about being done, with no resume

With no one left to blame
                       C 
What about fortune and fame?
                         D  
What about your love to obtain?

What about the ring?

What about,

Chorus
C           G     
  What about everything?
Em             D    
  What about aeroplanes?
C               G                    Em
  And what about ships that drank the sea?

What about...
C               G 
  What about the moon and stars?
Em           D 
  What about soldier battle scars
C            G               D
  And all the anger that they eat?
Em    D    G 
I am not in need.

# There's a bridge/solo here, but I'm going to skip it.

Verse 3

G                                                        C 
  Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some reason me
                           Am                               G 
The hometown harbor lights bright, the sailboats clatter in vain
                                                   C 
Holiday sky. Midnight clear. Wind is high on this pier
                         D  
I find it hard to complain when compared with what about...

  What about gold beneath the sea?
C           G
  What about...
C            G
  What about when buildings fall?
Em           D 
  What about that midnight phone call...
C            G                     D
  The one that wakes you from your peace?
Em          D    G     D    Em     D     G
  Well, I am not, I am not, I am not in need
