Maybe I'm Not Meant to Do Anything Remarkable After All Composer: Henning Ohlenbusch Album: Another Sleepless Nap by Henning Ohlenbusch https://youtu.be/PPM1ud8vo70 Note: Played with capo on third fret. Chords are listed as their chord shape with that capo. If you don't want to use a capo, transpose, or play it in this lower key: [verse] C Another year, another year, C And here I am, still sitting here. G It’s a wonderful place for a boy to be. C Even me. C My generation was pacified, C Taught self-esteem and filled with pride. G Ergo egos. Away we go. C Egos weee! [chorus] Dm G C F I believed it for a long, long time though they told it to us all. F C But, maybe I’m not meant to do anything remarkable after all. [verse] C An enrichment program, a gifted class. C I didn’t have to do very much to pass. G Oh, what could I be if I applied myself? C We’ll never know. C ‘Cause I give up almost instantly, C If something doesn’t come to me easily. G If I’m entitled to success, well, I must be great, C And I can wait. [chorus] Dm G C F I believed it for a long, long time but I got this wake-up call. F C But, maybe I’m not meant to do anything remarkable after all. [bridge] Am C/G Fmaj7 I’m starting to recognize. Am C/G Fmaj7 I don’t need a bigger life. Am C/G Fmaj7 I’m starting to recognize. Am C/G Fmaj7 I don’t need a bigger life. [verse] C I used to feel nothing but guilt, C When I took a look at the life I built. G Surely I was meant for something more, C Something great. C Lately, I feel something more like peace. C Have I given up or have I been released? G Maybe this drive to improve ourselves, C Might be a mistake. (We all make.) [chorus] Dm G C F I believed it for a long, long time but I was headed for a wall. F C But, maybe I’m not meant to do anything remarkable after all. Dm G C F I believed it for a long, long time though they told it to us all. F C But, maybe I’m not meant to do anything remarkable after all.
