NOTES:
In the final verse, you can hold these pauses as long you wish; just go out
there...! The fill is a cool way to enter the final CHORUS, too.
Timing is 4/4.

    I'm not gonna  say

                | E              | Amaj7    [pause: 2-3-4 1-2]
You ever stop to  think along the  way

              | E        F#m7add11        | A
Honey, be pre - pared to           be sur - prised

    I'm not going to  state

              | E                | Amaj7    [pause: 2-3-4 1-2]
Obvious obser - vations everybody  makes

                 | E        F#m7add11        | A
But baby, be pre - pared to           be sur - prised

   | G#m          | F#m          | A           | Em/G
The  weight of the  world and the  hurt and the  dirt

   | G#m          | F#m          A           | C      F#7
Can  make you dis - turbed but I heard, but I  heard


[Alternative: instead of playing C - F#7 on "heard", play the
  following fill to lead straight into the CHORUS; it's so cool!]
