_ _ Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed
Thought about [Dm] getting back [D] again
But went downstairs and said
[A] Read the daily paper
Have to know the truth
Slammed the door as I ran [F] outside
Looked at [D] my watch and cried
Gotta get to work on time
Gotta get to work on time
[Dm] _ [Em] Then the sky [Dm] turned a deeper [D] blue
[Dm] _ Not a cloud [G] as the sun [A] shone through
[F] But [Gm] all around [F] rain kept falling [Gm] to the ground
[F] The [Gm] wind was blowing [Am] but the trees didn't [D] make a sound
[Dm] _ _ [D] Just another day [Dm] afternoon _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Just another alien afternoon
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Time that I was leaving
While there's still a chance
Before I start believing
In what I see or hear
_ [A] Nothing here to keep me
Nothing anywhere
_ Gotta get out, pack my [F] bags
Before I [D] go insane
Gotta get [Dm] away in time
[D] Gotta get away in time
[Dm] _
[Em] Then the sky [Dm] turned from blue [G] to green
[Dm] _
[Gb] To come colors [G] I have never [A] _ [F] seen
[Gm] Then a sound [F] started ringing [Gm] in my ears
[F] _
[Gm] I heard voices [Am] but in truth
There's [Dm] nobody there
_ _ [D] Just [Gm] another alien [Dm] afternoon
Just _ [Am] _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ another alien afternoon
