G (goes on for the entirety of every verse)

Verse 1:

G
Just the other day
G        
Somebody said to me
G                      
Hey maybe you're just slightly schizophrenic
G
And a little out of reach my friend
G
I said 'yes, that's partly true' but jokes aside
G
I can explain, it's just my way of keeping track
G
With living on this planet
G
Now then, have you turned on your TV
G
Have you seen reality
G
Have you found the programme that
You've spent your whole life looking for 

G
There's a girl in Camden town
G
Indecision makes her frown
G
Which dress would she wear today
G
And which way should she smile at me

Chorus 1:

C
How did it come to this
C                       G
How did it ever come to this


Verse 2:
G
All this noise and all these lights
G
All this talking through the night
G
All this expectation now it's making me neurotic
G
Tell me, have I seen your face before
G
I forgot to say hello
G
Thought I'd made it clear now
G
That I've always been a smiler, tell me

Chorus 2:

C
How did it come to this
C                       G
How did it ever come to this
C
How did it come to this
C                       G
How did it ever come to this


Bridge:

G                          C
Sometimes it's like I'm a world away
C                  C
Sometimes I feel a world away

Verse 3:

G
Just the other day somebody said to me
G
Hey maybe you are oh so slightly OCD
G
A little out of reach my friend
G
I said yes that's partly true but jokes aside
G
Please stay with me
G
It's just my way of compartmentalizing
G
All the things I see


Chorus 3:
C
How did it come to this
C                       G
How did it ever come to this
C                  G
How did it come to this
C                       G
How did it ever come to this
