Key of F# Spotify

[Intro] F# B F# B F# C# B
[Verse 1] F# I'm glad to see you B I had a funny dream Bbm G#m And you were wearing funny shoes Bbm G#m You were going to a dance Bbm You were dressed like a punk but you are B Bbm C# C#sus4 C# Too young to remember
[Verse 2] F# Glad to see you B I'm outside the house Bbm G#m I'm not thinking right today Bbm G#m I've got no energy Bbm I'm glad that you are waiting with me B Bbm C# C#sus4 C# Tell me all about your day
[Chorus] Ebm C# Breaking off is misery B F# I see a wilderness for you and me B Bbm Punctuated by philosophy C# B And wondering how things could've been
[Verse 3] F# I'm happy for you B You've made it hard for me Bbm G#m I counted on your company Bbm G#m You are staying with your friends tonight Bbm I'm feeling sorry for myself B Bbm C# C#sus4 C# I keep taking everything to be a sign
[Verse 4] F# I'm happy for you B Now I know this hurt is poison Bbm G#m Too sharp to be bled Bbm G#m I'm sitting on my empty bed Bbm I'm on my empty bed B Bbm C# C#sus4 C# At night the fever grows, it's pounding pounding
[Chorus] Ebm C# I'd rather be in Tokyo B F# I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh B Bbm Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku C# B There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
[Interlude] F# B F# B F# C# B
[Verse 5] F# Scary moment, lovin' every moment B I was high from playing shows Bbm G#m We lost a singer to her clothes Bbm G#m My trouble raised its ugly head Bbm I was revealed and I was home in bed B Bbm C# C#sus4 C# I was a kid again
[Verse 6] F# Jesus told me, go after every coin B Like it was the last in the world Bbm G#m And protect the wayward child Bbm G#m But I'm a little lost sheep Bbm I need my Bo Peep B Bbm C# C#sus4 C# You know I need my shepherd here tonight
[Chorus] Ebm C# Breaking off is misery B F# I see a wilderness for you and me B Bbm Punctuated by philosophy C# B And wondering how things could've been
[Trumpet Solo] F# B G# C# Bb Ebm Ebm G# C#
[Verse 7] F# I'd like to see you, but really I should stay away B And let you settle down Bbm G#m I've got no claims to your crown Bbm G#m I was the boss of you and I loved you Bbm You know I loved you B Bbm C# C#sus4 C# It's all over now
[Verse 8] F# And I was there for you B When you were lonely Bbm G#m I was there when you were bad Bbm G#m I was there when you were sad Bbm Now it's my time of need B Bbm C# C#sus4 C# I'm thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?
[Chorus] Ebm C# I'd rather be in Tokyo B F# I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh B Bbm Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku C# B There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
