[Verse 1]
D A C
Going around all the shops always closing
D# F G
Never time to pursue my interests
B (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
D G G Gsus2
For a quick taste of the high life?
D A C
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
D# F G
To affect the high and mighty
B (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
D G G Gsus2
Turning up trumps into my life
[Chorus 1]
D A F
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
C# D# F D#
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
C# D# C#
Lights are in the making
C# D# C#
Never see them changing
C# D# F D#m
Always stay the same for me, oh
[Interlude]
D
[Verse 2]
D A C
Out in the air, on the top in the open
D# F G
Conversation is to be expected
B (skip beat)
And I can't form the words
D G Gsus2
So I just maintain my silence
[Chorus 2]
D A F
My breathing space is limited
F C# D# F D#
The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below
C# D# C#
Always seem to end up
C# D# C#
on the road before me
C# D# F D#m
Things they really seem to bore me
Instrumental break:
|C# B A | x 8

[Verse 3]
D A C
Driven around all the shops always closing
D# F G
And it appears that I've been mended
B (skip beat)
And I can't see me ever
D G G Gsus2
Turning up trumps into your life
[Chorus 3]
D A F
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
C# D# F D#
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
C# D# C#
Lights are in the making
C# D# C#
Never see them changing

Always stay the same for me, oh
