[C]
[Dm] [Bb]
[F] I wake up with the radio [C] on With any luck, my favourite song
[Dm] But when the news comes on and the world's gone wrong
[Bb] I think, here we go again
[F] Cos there's some facts I don't understand [C] Before I know it, I'm folding [Dm] hands
Quietly shelving the things I'd planned [Bb] as I start to search away
And before I know it, [Dm] I've lost [C] a whole morning
[Dm]
Just [Bb] endlessly scrolling, [F] trying to figure [A] out what is really happening
Before [Bb] I know it, [Dm] I've reached [C] the assumption
[Dm] Of all headed for [Bb] imminent destruction
[F] And there's nothing [A] we can do but keep on scrolling
Before [Bb] I know it, [F] before I know it
I
[F] think I live a normal life, pizza [C] evenings with the wife
[Dm] Watching repeats of the Price is Right [Bb] and sometimes documentaries
Well, [F] she likes the ones set in foreign [C] seas
But if they mention some rare [Dm] disease
Before I know it, I'm starting to [Bb] sneeze thinking it could be this or me
And before I know it, [Dm] I'm [C] googling the symptoms
[Dm] Of every virus, even [Bb] some extinct [F] ones
And they all [A] describe exactly how I'm suffering
[Bb] Before I know it, [Dm] my wife [C] started crying
[Dm] Cos I told her I'm [Bb] basically dying
[F] And there's nothing [A] we can do but keep on scrolling
Before [Bb] I know it, [F] before I know it
[D] Sometimes [Gm] we can feel so [C] empty
Everything [F] becomes [C] so [Dm] overwhelming
Will we [Gm] ever escape this [Eb] addiction?
[C]
[F] Even if I thought we could
[C] I doubt it would be so [Dm] good
To regress to a time before we understood [Bb] this new technology
[F] That doesn't mean that I can't mourn
[C] When we're having a lovely meal at home
[Dm] But all I can see is the back of a [Bb] phone
And [F] before I know it, [Dm] I'm [C] sounding like a gwad that
[Dm] We didn't have all [Bb] this when I was [F] alive
To [A] communicate we had to use a pager
[Bb] Before I know it, [Dm] I give [C] in to the system
[Dm] And silently [Bb] resume my addiction
[F] Cos there's [A] nothing else to do but keep on scrolling
And [Bb] before I know it, before I know it
[F] I wake up with the radio [C] on
With any luck, my favourite song
[Dm] But when the news comes on and the world's gone [Bb] wrong
I think here we go again
