Ab
[Verse 1]
Ab D# F#
Going around all the shops always closing
A B C#
Never time to pursue my interests
F (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
Ab C# C# C#sus2
For a quick taste of the high life?
Ab D# F#
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
A B C#
To affect the high and mighty
F (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
Ab C# C# C#sus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
Ab D# B
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
G A B 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 B Am
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude]
Ab
[Verse 2]
Ab D# F#
Out in the air, on the top in the open
A B C#
Conversation is to be expected
F (skip beat)
And I can't form the words
Ab C# C#sus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
Ab D# B
My breathing space is limited
B G A B 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 B Am
Things they really seem to bore me

Turning up trumps into your life
[Chorus 3]
Ab D# B
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy

Never see them changing
