It's such a drag, to want something sometime,
C/G (3x555x@1)     Dsus4/D                    B7 (x21202@1)
One thing leads to another, I know.

You arrived like the day, passed like a cloud,
C/G (3x555x@1)    D (xx0232@1)                  C/G (3x555x@1) Dsus4/D 
I made a wish.  I said it out loud,
D (xx0232@1)       C/G (3x555x@1)     C/G (3x555x@1)     Dsus4/D
'Loud in a cr-o-wd.  Everybody he-a-rd,

B7 (x21202@1) 		  G (320003@1)	               C/G (3x555x@1)	
It's not my place to know what you feel,
C/G (3x555x@1)     D (xx0232@1)                     B7 (x21202@1) 
I'd like to know but why should I.
G (320003@1)                 C/G (3x555x@1)      Dsus4/D   B7Who (x21202@1)were you then, who are you n-o-w.
B7 (x21202@1) 		           G (320003@1)	  C/G (3x555x@1)Common labourer by night, by day highbrow
G (320003@1)	  C/G (3x555x@1)         Dsus4/D  B7Back (x21202@1)in my room, I wondered then I
C/G (3x555x@1)    D (xx0232@1)                  C/G (3x555x@1) Dsus4/D 
Sit on the bed, look at the sky,
D (xx0232@1)       C/G (3x555x@1)     Dsus4/D
Up in the sky, clouds rearrange
D (xx0232@1)C/G (3x555x@1)      Dsus4/D    Am7 (x02010@1)name="chord_x21202@1">B7
Like the talk of the town.

Back to my room, you never know.
