Intro 

G Bm G Bm

Verse 1

G
I'm on a bus. I'm in a rush.
Bm
I would catch a cab, but I'm not that fussed.
G
Another day. Another dime.
       Bm
I know some might say, that I'm wasting time.
G
And then at night, another fight,
      Bm
And I don't know what it means but I'd never cause a scene.


Chorus 
Gm        Bb         Eb
I'm gonna make today sugar-coated.
Gm        Bb              Eb    Dm
I'm gonna get so high I'm lying here on the floor.
Gm              Bb                 Eb    Dm
It's time these shoes of mine were fully loaded.
C7                       Eb
It's time to sit back and smile.
C7                       Eb
I've had a smoke and it's been a while.

It's been a while.



Verse 2
G
Hello dawn. It's good to be.
      Bm
Did I pay for the girl lying next to me?
G
I had a love, but little luck.
        Bm
I don't bleed any more 'cause my heart's been crushed.
G
And now I'm free - lucky me.
        Bm
Yeah my girlfriend was a bore, she don't love me anymore.



Chorus

Solo=Chorus Chords


Verse 3
G
A little hush. A little rush.
        Bm
I guess now we'll see, if I'm big enough.
G
Finally it's only me.
            Bm
Things will never be the same. There's no living life again.
