Midlake - Van Occupanther

Eb                           Fm
I must be careful now in my steps
Eb                            Fm
Years of calculations and the stress
Eb                                Fm
My science is waiting, nearly complete
Eb                                Fm
One glass will last for nearly a week

Eb                                    Fm
Let me not get down from walking with no-one
Eb                      Fm
and if I stumble from exhaustion
Eb                                        Fm
These buckets are heavy, I fill them with water
Eb                                        Fm
I could ask these people, but I shouldn't bother

Eb                                Fm
Oh no, I've stumbled, was I going too fast?
Eb                           Fm
Some get angry, some of them laugh
Eb                                      Fm
They told me I wouldn't, but I found an answer
Eb                               Fm
I'm Van Occupanther, I'm Van occupanther!

              Gm                     Ab                
Let me not be too consumed with this world
                    Gm
Sometimes I want to go home
         Ab                 Eb
and stay out of sight for a long time

              Gm                     Ab                
Let me not be too consumed with this world
                    Gm
Sometimes I want to go home
         Ab                 Eb
and stay out of sight for a long time
