[Verse 1]
Cb F# A
Going around all the shops always closing
C D E
Never time to pursue my interests
G# (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
Cb E E Esus2
For a quick taste of the high life?
Cb F# A
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
C D E
To affect the high and mighty
G# (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
Cb E E Esus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
Cb F# D
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
A# C D C
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
A# C A#
Lights are in the making
A# C A#
Never see them changing
A# C D Cm
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude]
Cb
[Verse 2]
Cb F# A
Out in the air, on the top in the open
C D E
Conversation is to be expected
G# (skip beat)
And I can't form the words
Cb E Esus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
Cb F# D
My breathing space is limited
D A# C D C
The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below
A# C A#
Always seem to end up
A# C A#
on the road before me
A# C D Cm
Things they really seem to bore me
Instrumental break:
|A# G# F# | x 8
Cb
[Verse 3]
Cb F# A
Driven around all the shops always closing
C D E
And it appears that I've been mended
G# (skip beat)
And I can't see me ever
Cb E E Esus2
Turning up trumps into your life
[Chorus 3]
Cb F# D
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
A# C D C
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
A# C A#
Lights are in the making
A# C A#
Never see them changing
A# C D Cm (let ring)
Always stay the same for me, oh
