James… we were always friends,
From our childhood days
And we made our plans,
And we had to go our separate w[F/C]ays.
[F7/9]I went on the road
You pursued an education.
James…do you like your life,
Can you find release,
And will you ever change
Will you ever write your master[F/C]piece.
[F7/9]Are you still in school
Living up to expectations…
|Dm|Bbmaj7|Am7|
James…
You were so relied upon
everybody knows how hard you tried
|Dm|Bbmaj7|Am7|
Hey…
just look at what a job you've done
Carrying the weight of family pride.
James… you've been well behaved,
You've been working so hard
But will you always stay
Someone else's dream of who you a[F/C]re.
[F7/9]Do what's good for you
or you're not good for anybody…
James

James…
How you gonna know for sure
everything was so well organized.
|Dm|Bbmaj7|Am7|
Hey…
now everything is so secure,
and everybody else is satisfied.
James… do you like your life,
Can you find release
And will you ever change,
When will you write your master[F/C]piece.
[F7/9]Do what's good for you
or you're not good for anybody…
James…
