[Verse 1]
A# F G#
Going around all the shops always closing
B C# D#
Never time to pursue my interests
G (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
A# D# D# D#sus2
For a quick taste of the high life?
A# F G#
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
B C# D#
To affect the high and mighty
G (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
A# D# D# D#sus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
A# F C#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
A B C# B
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
A B A
Lights are in the making
A B A
Never see them changing
A B C# Bm
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude]

Out in the air, on the top in the open

And I can't form the words
A# D# D#sus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
A# F C#
My breathing space is limited
C# A B C# B
The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below

Always seem to end up

on the road before me

Things they really seem to bore me

Turning up trumps into your life
[Chorus 3]
