♫ Verse 1:
    G                        Gsus
The drive would have been pretty
    G              Gsus
If I wasn’t in a hurry
  G                Gsus
Ignoring any sounds
            G                Gsus
My mind and engine kept on making
   G    C      Cadd9
And this town,
C            Cadd9
Which is all towns,
   G      Gsus  G Gsus
Is blurry
D                       Dsus2
With one eye well slept
   Am           Am7   Asus4
My other hasn’t woken up yet

♫ Verse 2:
         G                  Gsus
Glitter’s sticking to my skin
          G               Gsus
Like it’s something I was born into
 G             Gsus
I wash it away
      G             Gsus   C
For a day, until my next debut
       Cadd9
It’s a dream
  C         Cadd9    G     Gsus  G Gsus
A perpetual motion machine
           D
‘Cause you don’t
                            Dsus2  Am
No you don’t, no you don’t, no you don’t
    Am7 Asus4 G           Gsus  G Gsus
Get something for nothing


♫ Chorus:
    D           Dsus2 Dsus4 D     Dsus2
You know, I was born  yes - ter - day
D   Am                 Am7  Asus4
And once again this morning
D          Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2
Woke up in a new place
    D   Am                 Asus4
And I’m packing up already
        G                C
They’re cleaning out the ash trays
     Dadd4
As I step over the bodies
G                 C
Told them “I wish I could stay”
         Dadd4             Dadd4
But then I kept on walking

♫ Verse 3:
       G                    Gsus
It gets hard to dial the numbers
        G                     Gsus
But I’ve got to call my mother
    G                        Gsus
She thinks that I’m a winner
        G                       Gsus
But I’m having sleep for dinner
      C    Cadd9  C
Once again
          Cadd9           G   Gsus  G Gsus
No mom, I haven’t made it yet
       D                Dsus2 Am
But I’m still, oh I know, I’m still
Am7 Asus4    G Gsus  G Gsus
Her best bet

And once again this morning

Woke up in a new place

    G                Gsus
All I can do is watch it
      G                 Gsus
Can’t stop the old pendulum swing
       G                   Gsus
They’re rolling out the carpet
G                  Gsus       C  Cadd9
For the next pretty young thing
C         Cadd9     G    Gsus  G Gsus
Perpetual motion machine
       D
And I’m sorry
            Dsus2 Am
If my mouth is running
  Asus4       G         Gsus G
I better go, I better go
          Gsus
Catch it
