(Ska rhythm)
Fb
[Verse 1]
Fb B D
Going around all the shops always closing
F G A
Never time to pursue my interests
C# (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
Fb A A Asus2
For a quick taste of the high life?
Fb B D
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
F G A
To affect the high and mighty
C# (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
Fb A A Asus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
Fb B G
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
D# F G F
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
D# F D#
Lights are in the making
D# F D#
Never see them changing
D# F G Fm
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude]
Fb
[Verse 2]
Fb B D
Out in the air, on the top in the open
F G A
Conversation is to be expected
C# (skip beat)
And I can't form the words
Fb A Asus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
Fb B G
My breathing space is limited
G D# F G F
The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below
D# F D#
Always seem to end up
D# F D#
on the road before me
D# F G Fm
Things they really seem to bore me
Instrumental break:
|D# C# B | x 8
Fb
[Verse 3]
Fb B D
Driven around all the shops always closing

And it appears that I've been mended

And I can't see me ever
Fb A A Asus2
Turning up trumps into your life
[Chorus 3]
Fb B G
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
D# F G F
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
D# F D#
Lights are in the making
D# F D#
Never see them changing

Always stay the same for me, oh
