(Ska rhythm)
G
[Verse 1]
G D F
Going around all the shops always closing
G# A# C
Never time to pursue my interests
E (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
G C C Csus2
For a quick taste of the high life?
G D F
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
G# A# C
To affect the high and mighty
E (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
G C C Csus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
G D A#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
F# G# A# G#
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
F# G# F#
Lights are in the making
F# G# F#
Never see them changing
F# G# A# G#m
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 2]
G D F
Out in the air, on the top in the open
G# A# C
Conversation is to be expected
E (skip beat)
And I can't form the words
G C Csus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
G D A#
My breathing space is limited
A# F# G# A# G#
The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below
F# G# F#
Always seem to end up
F# G# F#
on the road before me
F# G# A# G#m
Things they really seem to bore me
Instrumental break:
|F# E D | x 8
G
[Verse 3]
G D F
Driven around all the shops always closing
G# A# C
And it appears that I've been mended
E (skip beat)
And I can't see me ever
G C C Csus2
Turning up trumps into your life
[Chorus 3]
G D A#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
F# G# A# G#
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
F# G# F#
Lights are in the making
F# G# F#
Never see them changing
F# G# A# G#m (let ring)
Always stay the same for me, oh
