[Verse 1]
Gb C# E
Going around all the shops always closing
G A B
Never time to pursue my interests
D# (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
Gb B B Bsus2
For a quick taste of the high life?
Gb C# E
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
G A B
To affect the high and mighty
D# (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
Gb B B Bsus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
Gb C# 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 Gm
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Gb C# E
Out in the air, on the top in the open
G A B
Conversation is to be expected

And I can't form the words
Gb B Bsus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
Gb C# 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 Gm
Things they really seem to bore me

Turning up trumps into your life
[Chorus 3]
Gb C# A
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
