Verse 1:
Bb majorBb          FF      G#G#
Going around all the shops always closing
BB       C#C#    D#D#
Never time to pursue my interests
    G+G         (skip beat)
Will I ever find the time
Bb majorBb            D#D#     D#D# D#sus2D#sus2
For a quick taste of the high life?

Bb majorBb             FF      G#G#
I'm so perplexed though it doesn't really seem
   BB    C#C#      D#D#
To affect the high and mighty
   G+G        (skip beat)
And I can't see you ever
Bb majorBb           D#D#     D#D# D#sus2D#sus2
Turning up trumps into my life


Chorus 1:
Bb majorBb      FF       C#C#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
A augmentedA            BB        C#C#    BB
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
A augmentedA     BB   A augmentedA
Lights are in the making
A augmentedA   BB     A augmentedA
Never see them changing
A augmentedA   BB    C#C#      B minorBm
Always stay the same for me, oh


Interlude:
Bb majorBb


Verse 2:
Bb majorBb           FF     G#G#
Out in the air, on the top in the open
    BB      C#C#   D#D#
Conversation is to be expected
   G+G         (skip beat)
And I can't form the words
     Bb majorBb        D#D# D#sus2D#sus2
So I just maintain my silence


Chorus 2:
Bb majorBb          FF       C#C#
My breathing space is limited
   C#C#      A augmentedA                BB    C#C#    BB
The people always walking round my hallway on the stairs below
A augmentedA   BB    A augmentedA
Always seem to end up
A augmentedA   BB   A augmentedA
on the road before me
A augmentedA   BB      C#C#   B minorBm
Things they really seem to bore me


Instrumental break:
|A augmentedA  G+G  FF  | x 8

Verse 3:
Bb majorBb          FF       G#G#
Driven around all the shops always closing
     BB       C#C#    D#D#
And it appears that I've been mended
   G+G        (skip beat)
And I can't see me ever
Bb majorBb           D#D#     D#D# D#sus2D#sus2
Turning up trumps into your life


Chorus 3:
Bb majorBb      FF       C#C#
See me coming up and coming whoops-a-daisy
A augmentedA            BB        C#C#    BB
One, two, nothing counts in this complex world
A augmentedA     BB   A augmentedA
Lights are in the making
A augmentedA   BB     A augmentedA
Never see them changing
A augmentedA   BB    C#C#      B minorBm (let ring)
Always stay the same for me, oh
