[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]I have
to say [C]that I'm all [G]done
[C]I g[G]ave this my ever[C]ything
and let's [G]face it, I [C]lost
This [G]is [C]my most hated [G]place [C]to be
[G]Nothing to [C]hold me down [G]in
the heavy [C]breeze
[G]Thought I [C]could break your
doorway [G]down[C]
[G]I'm 5 [C]'3,
110 and [G]I'll go another [C]round[G]
Giving up most everything
that meant something to [C]me
[G]Crawled out with [C]one tiny [G]shred of dignity
[C]And there's just one thing that I [D]know
And I can't go [Em]back
So I'm [Bm]here
I'm just [Am]standing in this [A]hallway
Try[Bbdim]ing to find [G]the r[C]ight
[G]door[C][G][C][G]
[C][F][C]
[G]I am the f[C]irst to say
that I'm [G]swollen in the hair
[C]I b[G]elieve my craz[C]y dreams
are [G]truly destiny
[C]And sur[G]e I can cross this oce[C]an
in [G]a leaky canoe
But if I let that sucker sink,
[C]maybe I'll kno[G]w what to do
[C]And there's just one thing that I kno[D]w
and I can't go [Em]back
So I'm [Bm]here
I'm just [Am]standing in this [C]hallway
Try[Em]ing to [Bm]find t[G]he right f[C]loor
Stand[Am]ing in this hallway
Trying to [F]keep my [C]cool[G]
[C][G][C][G][C][F][C]
[G]Beans and greens and [C]cake and rice
When [G]I make a choice
I [C]got to make it right
I'm [G]snipping my work beads
I [C]don't know what stress means,
I'm [G]walking down the street
just shaking my jelly beans
When my path cuts my sneakers
will follow some
Playing in the sun
till the cows come home
You won't see me jump
on the first bus that [C]comes
Cause I'm [G]waiting for the one
that'll take me home
And there's [C]just one thing that I [D]know
And I can't go [Em]back
So I'm [Bm]here
I'm just [Am]standing in this [C]hallway
Try[Em]ing to [G]find t[Bm]he right d[C]oor
Stand[Am]ing in this h[Em]allway
I'm to [Bm]keep my [C]cool and
I'm [Am]standing in the hallway
till the [D]right one comes [G]along[C]
[G][C][G][C][F][C][G]
[C][G]
Beans and greens and cake and ice
When [F]I make a c[C]hoice
I got to make it right
I'm stepping [G]on the radio,
can't [G]no one else mis[G]s
Walking down the street,
just shaking my jelly beans
When my path comes back
it's gonna be flawless
So I'm playing on the sound
until the cows come home
You won't see me jump
on the first bus it comes
Cause I'm waiting for the one
that'll take me home
You won't see my path
on the surface,
it'll follow
So I'm playing on the sound
until the cows come home
You won't see me jump
on the first bus it comes
Cause I'm waiting for the one
that'll take me home
