      Cmaj7/G      E6/D  Fmaj7/C    x2

Verse 1:

        Cmaj7/G              E6/D  Fmaj7/C
Passin' around, your blood in your body
         Cmaj7/G          E6/D  Fmaj7/C
No conversation to ease up your mind
           Cmaj7/G       E6/D  Fmaj7/C
And nobody seems to see the outside of it


Chorus:--->Lead B

      Cmaj7/G      E6/D   Fmaj7/C
Preoccupied, and nobody's hiding it
       Em      E6/D   Fmaj7/C
Preoccupied, nobody's hiding it
       Em      E6/D   Fmaj7/C    C6(9)
Preoccupied, nobody's hiding it


Break:--->Lead A

Cmaj7/G  Fmaj7 x2


Verse 2:

           Cmaj7/G          E6/D  Fmaj7/C
Opened your mind, filled it with bullshit
               Cmaj7/G        E6/D  Fmaj7/C
Locked up your heart, without even knowing it
             Cmaj7/G             E6/D  Fmaj7/C
It must be a sign, the days that we're living in


Chorus:--->Lead B

      Cmaj7/G      E6/D   Fmaj7/C
Preoccupied, and nobody's hiding it
       Em      E6/D   Fmaj7/C
Preoccupied, nobody's hiding it
       Em      E6/D   Fmaj7/C
Preoccupied, nobody's hiding it
       Em            E6/D   Fmaj7/C
Preoccupied, yeah, nobody's hiding it
       Em      E6/D   Fmaj7/C          C6(9)
Preoccupied, nobody's hiding it
