(Ska rhythm)

[Verse 1]
A E G
Going around all the shops always closing
A# C D
Never time to pursue my interests
F# (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
A D D Dsus2
For a quick taste of the high life?
A E G
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
A# C D
To affect the high and mighty
F# (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
A D D Dsus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
A E C
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
G# A# C A#
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
G# A# G#
Lights are in the making
G# A# G#
Never see them changing
G# A# C A#m
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude]
A
[Verse 2]
A E G
Out in the air, on the top in the open
A# C D
Conversation is to be expected
F# (skip beat)
And I can't form the words
A D Dsus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
A E C
My breathing space is limited
C G# A# C A#
The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below
G# A# G#
Always seem to end up
G# A# G#
on the road before me
G# A# C A#m
Things they really seem to bore me
Instrumental break:
|G# F# E | x 8

[Verse 3]
A E G
Driven around all the shops always closing
A# C D
And it appears that I've been mended
F# (skip beat)
And I can't see me ever
A D D Dsus2
Turning up trumps into your life
[Chorus 3]
A E C
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
G# A# C A#
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
G# A# G#
Lights are in the making
G# A# G#
Never see them changing

Always stay the same for me, oh
