E MajorE
Oliver Paul, twenty years old
A5A5
Thick head of hair, worries he's going bald
E MajorE
Wakes up at quarter past nine
A5A5
Fair evades his way down the 96 tram line
E MajorE
Breakfast on the run again, he's well aware
A5A5 E MajorE A5A5 E MajorE A5A5
He's dropping soy linseed Vegemite crumbs everywhere
E MajorE
Feeling sick at the sight of his computer
A5A5
He dodges his way through the Swanston commuters
E MajorE
Rips off his tie, hands it to a homeless man
A augmentedA E MajorE
Sleeping in the corner of a metro bus stand and he screams
"I'm not going to work today
A5A5
Going to count the minutes that the trains run late
E MajorE A5A5 E MajorE E/F#E/F# E7/G A5A5
Sit on the grass building pyramids out of Coke cans"
E MajorE
Headphone wielding to the Nicholas building
A5A5
He trips on a pothole that's not been filled in
E MajorE
He waits for an elevator, one to nine
A5A5
A augmentedA lady walks in and waits by his side
E MajorE
Her heels are high and her bag is snakeskin
A5A5
Hair pulled so tight you can see her skeleton
E MajorE
Vickers perfume on her breath
A5A5
A augmentedA tortoise shell necklace between her breasts
E MajorE
She looks him up and down with a botox frown
A5A5
He's well used to that look by now
E MajorE E/F#E/F# E7/G A5A5
The elevator dings and they awkwardly step in
E MajorE E/F#E/F# E7/G A5A5
Their fingers touch on the rooftop button
E MajorE A5A5
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
E MajorE A5A5
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth
E MajorE A5A5 E MajorE A5A5
I'd give anything to have skin like you
E MajorE
He said "I think you're projecting the way that you're feeling
A5A5
I'm not suicidal, just idling insignificantly
E MajorE
I come up here for perception and clarity
A5A5
I like to imagine I'm playing SimCity
E MajorE E/F#E/F# E7/G A5A5
All the people look like ants from up here
E MajorE E/F#E/F# E7/G A5A5
And the wind's the only traffic you can hear"
E MajorE E/F#E/F# E7/G A5A5
He said "All I ever wanted to be
E MajorE E/F#E/F# E7/G A5A5
Was an elevator operator, can you help me please?"
E MajorE A5A5
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
E MajorE A5A5
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth
E MajorE A5A5 E MajorE A5A5
I'd give anything to have skin like you
E MajorE A5A5
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
E MajorE A5A5
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth
E MajorE A5A5 E MajorE A5A5
I'd give anything to have skin like you

E MajorE E/F#E/F# E7/G A augmentedA
E MajorE E/F#E/F# E7/G A augmentedA
