[Verse 1]
F C D#
Going around all the shops always closing

Never time to pursue my interests

Will I ever find the time

For a quick taste of the high life?
F C D#
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
F# G# A#
To affect the high and mighty

And I can't see you ever
F A# A# A#sus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
F C G#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
E F# G# F#
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
E F# E
Lights are in the making
E F# E
Never see them changing
E F# G# F#m
Always stay the same for me, oh

So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]

My breathing space is limited

The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below

Turning up trumps into your life
