[Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] It's [Eb] not as though I have [Ab] a [Ebm] pillow for my [Ab] head
[Eb] I'm not [Ab] missing on [Eb] anything yet
[Ab] [Eb] [Ab] The [Eb] things that you [Fm] treasure are [Eb] worthless to me
[Ab] I [Eb] don't know, I don't know how [Ab] you do it [Eb] to yourself
[Ab] Wherever [Eb] I go
[Ab] Wherever [Eb] I be
[Ab] I carry [Eb] no load
[Bb] [Eb] My spirit is [Ab] free
[Eb] [Ab] To [Eb] [Ab] watch the evening [Eb]
change [Ab] From [Eb] afternoon
[Ab] It's a pleasure [Eb] that you rarely [Ab] see
[Eb] [Ab] Around [Eb] that time you've been crawling [Ab] home to the rush [Eb] hour
[Ab] Or settling [Eb] in for night [Ab] in front of [Eb] your TV
[Db] [Ab] Ooooooo
[Eb] Sound the alarm
[Db]
[Ab] Ooooooo
Sound [Eb] the alarm
And [Ab] as I [Eb] gaze in awe
[Ab] At the [Eb] break of dawn
You were [Eb] lying in your bed
You've [Ab] got a [Eb] pillow on your head
The [Fm] clock radio is telling you [Eb] it's time to go
You [Ab] can barely [Eb] rise to face it [Fm] all [Eb] again
[Db] Sound the [Ab] alarm
Your world is not [Eb] your own
[Fm] Sound the alarm
[Ab] Your world is [Eb] falling down
[Fm] [Ab]
[Bb] [Ab] [Fm] [Ab]
[Bb] [Ab] [Fm] [Ab]
[Bb] [Ab] Ooooooo
[Fm] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab] [Db] Sound the alarm
[Ab] Your world is not [Eb] your own
[Db] Sound the alarm
[Ab] Your world is [Eb] falling down
You've [Db] got to sound the alarm
[Ab] Your world is not [Eb] your own
[Ab] Sound the alarm
Your world is [Eb] falling down
It's [Fm] [Eb] not as though I have [Ab] a [Ebm] pillow for my [Ab] head
[Eb]
I'm not [Ab] much for that [Abm] kind of thing
