(Ska rhythm)
C
[Verse 1]
C G A#
Going around all the shops always closing
C# D# F
Never time to pursue my interests
A (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
C F F Fsus2
For a quick taste of the high life?
C G A#
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
C# D# F
To affect the high and mighty
A (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
C F F Fsus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
C G D#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
B C# D# C#
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
B C# B
Lights are in the making
B C# B
Never see them changing
B C# D# C#m
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude]
C
[Verse 2]
C G A#
Out in the air, on the top in the open
C# D# F
Conversation is to be expected
A (skip beat)
And I can't form the words
C F Fsus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
C G D#
My breathing space is limited
D# B C# D# C#
The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below
B C# B
Always seem to end up
B C# B
on the road before me
B C# D# C#m
Things they really seem to bore me
Instrumental break:
|B A G | x 8
C
[Verse 3]
C G A#
Driven around all the shops always closing
C# D# F
And it appears that I've been mended
A (skip beat)
And I can't see me ever
C F F Fsus2
Turning up trumps into your life
[Chorus 3]
C G D#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
B C# D# C#
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
B C# B
Lights are in the making
B C# B
Never see them changing

Always stay the same for me, oh
