Em, C, Em, C
Am, Gsus4, G, Am, F

Em      C              Em      C
   This rock-star trip... some serious ship
Am               Gsus4   G            Am             F          
   White-knuckle journey blackened my eye and cut my lip
Em                C           Em                C
   Better to be a doctor or a man who walks the earth
Am            Gsus4    G       Am               F
   Hedonistic laughing boys... what's any of it worth?..

Em           C              Em             C
   Look at myself Look at myself Look at myself
          Am             Gsus4  G
Look at myself Look at myself 
          Am             G
Look at myself Look at myself

Em   C                Em            C
   Escaped to the car... drove to a bar somewhere
Am               Gsus4   G           Am                    F
   The beautiful game... such a thin line between love and hate

Em           C              Em             C
   Look at myself Look at myself Look at myself
          Am             Gsus4  G
Look at myself Look at myself 
          Am             G
Look at myself Look at myself

Em        B/D#
Mr Taurus ate a thesaurus
D                              A/C#
Made the girls cry and skipped straight to the chorus
C         G/B
Mr Taurus had a great fall
Bb                         A
All the King's horses were no good at all
C             A
   No good at all

Em     B   G A     C       G/B   Bb  
Here's one I broke earlier
Asus4   A        C       G/B   Bb   A
        I broke earlier

Made the girls cry and skipped straight to the chorus
Cmaj7
Mr Taurus had a great fall
Bm                         
All the King's horses were no good at all

Em                        G
   Woke up in a spaceship... of shimmering gold
Cmaj7                      Bm
      Tutenkhamen sleeping... should'a left him alone
C                         G
  Floating round in Orion... arrow pointing to heaven
Cmaj7                         G
      Between all the planets... out in the cold

C                            D/F#
  Everyone I love Everyone I love Everyone I love
           Cmaj7            D
Everyone I love  Everyone I love
           Em                                        Cmaj7
Everyone I love lives somewhere else Lives somewhere else
                              
                             C
And I have time to look at myself
             D                 Em
To look at myself To look at myself To look at myself
             C                 D
To look at myself To look at myself
             Em                                  C
To look at myself To look at myself To look at myself

                     D
And I've seen enough... I've seen enough
Cmaj7                 Em
      Everyone I love lives somewhere else
C            D    Cmaj7                 Em
  Everyone I love...    lives somewhere else...
C   D           Cmaj7             Em
      Somewhere else... somewhere else...
          C
Somewhere else...
