Verse 1: 

G                     Cmaj7/E
     I would like to leave this city

G                   Cmaj7/E
This old town don't smell too pretty and

G       D/F#     Em            A7                Cmaj7/E 
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind


Verse 2:

G          Cmaj7/E    ( Dsus4 )*
And when I leave this island

G                Cmaj7/E   ( Dsus4 )*
I'll book myself into a soul asylum

G       D/F#     Em            A7                Cmaj7/E  
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

Bridge:

Em        G      
So here I go,

          B7                      Em         G
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole

Cmaj7/E                       A7           D     D6 **
My body feels young, but my mind is very oooooold

Em             G
So what do you say?

          B7                      Em         G
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway

You're half the world away

       Cm
You're half the world away


Verse 3:

G             Cmaj7/E   ( Dsus4 ) *
  And when I leave this planet

G                        Cmaj7/E  ( Dsus4 ) *
You know I'd stay, but I just can't stand it and

G       D/F#     Em            A7                Cmaj7/E   
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind


Verse 4:

G              Cmaj7/E  ( Dsus4 ) *
And if I could leave this spirit 

G                    Cmaj7/E   ( Dsus4 ) *
I'd find me a hole and I'll live in it and

G       D/F#     Em            A7                Cmaj7/E   
 I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

I'm still scratching around in the same old hole

Cmaj7/E                       A7           D     D6 **
My body feels young, but my mind is very oooooold

Chorus:

Em             G
So what do you say?

*(Dsus4) is an optional chord. It's more of an embellishing note, really,
   and it's not that important to include, but if you do an un-strummed hammer-on, it can sound quite nice :)
   Include, but if 
**D6 can be switched with D7 if it sounds better to you
