[Verse 1]
Eb A# C#
Going around all the shops always closing
E F# G#
Never time to pursue my interests
C (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
Eb G# G# G#sus2
For a quick taste of the high life?
Eb A# C#
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
E F# G#
To affect the high and mighty
C (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
Eb G# G# G#sus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
Eb A# F#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
D E F# E
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
D E D
Lights are in the making
D E D
Never see them changing
D E F# Em
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude]
Eb
[Verse 2]
Eb A# C#
Out in the air, on the top in the open
E F# G#
Conversation is to be expected

And I can't form the words
Eb G# G#sus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
Eb A# F#
My breathing space is limited
F# D E F# E
The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below
D E D
Always seem to end up
D E D
on the road before me
D E F# Em
Things they really seem to bore me

And I can't see me ever

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