What Are You Gonna Do

Creedence Clearwater Revival


Tom: C

C                G
When you are alone,
    C
You come back cryin' and you want to go home;
C                             G
For someone forgettin' it seems
                            F               C
Like you're lettin' it take you away from me.

[Verse 1]
    C                 G        C
Was your idea to pack up and go.
                    G               C
You said you had no life of your own.
              G       F         C
Movin' in was not too hard to do.
                               G         F         C
Ya got second thoughts; you're gonna have to choose.

[Chorus]
C                    G
What are you gonna do?
    C
For-get about your mother and think about you.
                              G
For someone forgettin' it seems
                            F               C
Like you're lettin' it take you away from me.

[Verse 2]
C                   G                   C
Told you all the se-crets that were mine.
                       G                 C
The good things that I picked up overtime.
                 G      F              C
Won't accept the reason why you're here;
                 G      F         C
Talk things out; overcome the fear.

[Chorus]
C                    G
What are you gonna do?
    C
For-get about your mother and think about you.
                              G
For someone forgettin' it seems
                            F               C
Like you're lettin' it take you away from me.

[Chorus]
C                    G
What are you gonna do?
    C
For-get about your mother and think about you.
                              G
For someone forgettin' it seems
                            F               C
Like you're lettin' it take you away from me.

[Verse 3]
C                      G            C
Thought that I was all that you need,
                     G               C
You told me things I wanted to believe.
                      G  F             C
You know that leaving me would be wrong;
                   G        F           C
Stay with me, I'll help you to be strong.

[Chorus]
C                    G
What are you gonna do?
    C
For-get about your mother and think about you.
                              G
For someone forgettin' it seems
                            F               C
Like you're lettin' it take you away from me.
C                    G
What are you gonna do?
    C
For-get about your mother and think about you.
                              G
For someone forgettin' it seems
                            F               C
Like you're lettin' it take you away from me.
C                    G
What are you gonna do?
    C
For-get about your mother and think about you.
                              G
For someone forgettin' it seems
                            F               C
Like you're lettin' it take you away from me.
