(intro) E/B/A

F#m G#m E/B/A

Maybe you got faith in where this is going

F#m G#m E/B/A

Maybe I''ll pull up the stakes and not be lettin' go

E/B/C#m A

I could not believe I could not believe

---------------------------------------------

(CHORUS)

B(aug) E A/E

Can I get a witness, witness

B(aug) E A/E

Can I get a witness, witness

B(aug) E A

Can I get a witness

Can I get a witness

----------------------------------------------

A F#m G#m E/B/A

You know a lot of times I think I'm mad

F#m G#m E/B/A

And I feel lost on this exit now

E/B/C#m A

I cannot believe I cannot believe

(REPEAT CHORUS)

A F#m G#m E/B/A

And some of these people are just so lame

F#m G#m E/B/A

I don't feel like a pupil just a loser on a game show

I just can't believe it No, I can't believe it

(REPEAT CHORUS without the ending B chord)

(BRIDGE)

C#m/F#m G# C#7 F#7 G#

I'm rooting for you and I toasted when I heard about you

And how you got a witness

A F#m G#m/ E/B/A

A citizen may be in another place

Here comes the wind

E/B/A

I'm a chaser

(and) it's time to leave

Here it comes

It's time to leave

(REPEAT CHORUS 2X)
