F# B
Thinking back now
A
Lazing on hazy days although in many ways
F# B
It's always a task
A
What we used to see on the TV on Saturdays
F# B A
Seems so far away
I think to myself, now's the time to self indulge
F# B A
And on the other side
Is a program about someone who died
F# E C D
I get so tired, dinner time is at home (not here)

F# B
A change of scene
A
I know, oh happy days, meeting people on the way
F# B A
And on the TV screen
Oh dear, what's the time? You used to be a friend of mine
F# B
It's time to go now
A
La la laa, la la laa, la la laa, la la laa,
F# B
I'm turning round now
A
La la laa, la la laa, la la laa, la la laa,
F# E C D F# E C D
What's happening now, I never see eye to eye
F# E C D F# E C D
All ideas blown up high in the sky
CHORUS:
G C A D
I'm so sorry which I cannot show
E Bb Am F
But I can't say anymore, I've got to go home to my own world
