[Verse 1]
[D]Alexander the
[Em]Great
He was a [G]big man
across the [A]land
[D]He conquered everything
[Em]in sight
He had the [G]world
at his command
[A]Som[D]ewhere deep down
[Em]He felt there were t[G]hing
s that he still didn't [A]know
[D]So he asked the wise men if [Em]they knew
Or if there was [G]some place he could [A]go
[G]They said that it ain't far off land
With a man [A]called
Diogenes
[G]Who possessed the kind of knowledge
That would put [A]his mind at ease
[Em]So
Alexander he settled up
A wing look[A]in' for that holy grail
[Em]He rode and rode for miles and miles
Till at [A]last he found the trail
[G]Steppin' up, he said, I'm here
Please tell [A]me what it is I crave
An[G]d the voice came back,
loud and clear
From [A]the darkness of the cave
He [D]said, hey
[Em]You're standing in my [G]lane[A]
[D]Hey, [Em]you're standing in my [G]lane
[A]I said hey[D],
[Em]you're standing in my [G]lane
[A]I said h[D]ey,
[Em]you're standing in my [G]lane[A]
Well, I [D]don't know if I know
what you [Em]think I know
But [G]I think it's gonna be [A]fine
[D]Just remember that whatever
[Em]'s been written
Is just the [G]opinion of one man's [D]mind[A]
[D]There are no easy an[Em]swers
That I know [G]that'll satisfy [A]you
[D]You just gotta take your chances
[Em]And do what [G]you want to do[A]
[Em]But you should know that in this world
You [A]get what you deserve
[Em]So when your back's against the wall
You [A]better not lose your nerve
[G]So now you're standing
in front of the streetlight
[A]You got some of the proof
An[G]d the pavement artists pat your feet
Lips [A]are buried, can't you move?
I said, [D]hey,
[Em]you're standing in my [G]lane[A]
I said, [D]hey,
[Em]you're standing in my [G]lane
[A]You know that ain't right
[D]Hey, [Em]you're standing in my lane
[G]You're gonna be there all[A] night
I said, [D]hey, [Em]you're standing in my [G]lane
I'll [A]get out of my [D]life[Em][G][A][D]
[Em][G][A][D][Em][G][A]
[D][Em][G][A]
[G]So when you're headed for
the goddamn center
And the [A]dreamer lies within
[G]Just remember what the man said
It's [A]one for every million
He [D]hey, [Em]you're standing in my [G]way
[A]He said, hey[D],
[Em]you're standing in my [G]way[A][D]
Hey, [Em]you're standing
in my [G]way
You'll [A]be there all night
[D]Hey, [Em]you're standing in my [G]way
[A]Roll it[D][Em][G][A][D][Em][G]
[A]
[D]Hey, [Em]you're standing
in my [G]way[A]
[D]Hey, [Em]you're standing
in my [G]way[A]
[D]Hey, [Em]you're standing in my way

[Outro 1]
