G        D                   C                            G
Kissin’ in a classroom on a campus on the coast
         Em             D      C (walkdown)  G
After hours of analysis
G                D               C                    G      
I loved you first yeah I loved you the most
Em                   D             C (walkdown)  G
Now it feels like paralysis
D                               C                           G
And I got no idea where we’re goin’ with this, no
D                                             G
I don’t know where we’re gonna land
D                          C                              G
And it might go better if we do it by the letter, so 
     C        D                   G
I need to know where I stand


Killin’ in a comedy club in Hollywood

After years of psychotherapy

You were gone forever 

Now you say you’re back for good

I swear to God you’re gonna bury me

And the people all laugh but I’m dead on the inside

I’ll do anything you demand  

Well you tell me that you love me

Yet you won’t even hug me 
         C         D                   G
So I need to know where I stand,
          C         D                   G
Yes I need to know where I stand


Chorus
                 D  C   G          D       C    G    D      C         G 
Would you plea-ease, tell me if you can, tell me if you can
             D  C   G              C        D                   G              
‘Cause I nee-eed, yes I need to know where I stand


Quiet in the kitchen of a cracker-jack box

In the hamlet of Wallkill

I miss you so much that it hurts me to talk

Yet you’re standin’ right in front of me still

And I’m reachin’ for you, but you’re fallin’ away

This has gotten so outta hand

Well the world might end in a minute my friend 

So I need to know where I stand

Yes I need to know where I stand

Chorus

Yeah I need to know where I stand, 

Well I need to know where I stand
