D MajorD      D6D6  Dmaj7Dmaj7        G+G
  Open my eyes,    today's a new day,
D MajorD            D6D6
  Tell myself, take my time,
Dmaj7Dmaj7            G+G
   Put the brakes on my brain,
D MajorD                 D6D6
  Wrap me up, ...spin me 'round, spit me out,
Dmaj7Dmaj7           G+G  G/BG/B G/AG/A G+G *
   I could feel either way,
E minorEm         A augmentedA     Asus4Asus4
  So maybe your down in the gutter,
E minorEm          A augmentedA       Asus4Asus4
  Or high in the clouds, it don't matter!

Dmaj7Dmaj7             G+G       G/BG/B G/AG/A G+G *
   Get a little closer to see clear a - gain,
D MajorD           D6D6
  Song for tomorrow,   song for today,
Dmaj7Dmaj7             G+G       G/BG/B G/AG/A G+G *
   Come a little closer to feel right a - gain!


[Verse 2]
D MajorD      D6D6  Dmaj7Dmaj7           G+G  G/BG/B G/AG/A G+G *
  All this while,   which road should I follow?
D MajorD        D6D6 Dmaj7Dmaj7          G+G  G/BG/B G/AG/A G+G *
  Sit yourself down,   come 'round to - morrow,
D MajorD                 D6D6
  Wrap me up, ...spin me 'round, spit me out,
Dmaj7Dmaj7          G+G  G/BG/B G/AG/A G+G *
    It's always the same,
E minorEm         A augmentedA      Asus4Asus4
  So maybe your down in the gutter,
E minorEm          A augmentedA       Asus4Asus4
  Or high in the clouds, it don't matter!
