Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
C C/B Am G F

[Verse 1]
C C/B Am G F
Woke up sweating over the state of affairs
C C/B
From my mountain isolation
F Em Dm Dm7 Dm
Up 3 flights of stairs
F C
And I wish it were morning
F C
And I wish this was over
F C C/B F
This type of thing used to throw me but now I’m older

C C/B Am G F
So I just stay naked, make a coffee and some toast
C C/B
Scroll through the news of the hour
F Em Dm
Try not to hold it too close
F C
Eventually, get myself out the door
F C
Eventually, breathe in the cool air
F C C/B F
Process the fact that I’m here and that you are there

[Chorus]
F C G
Skimming headlines, walking slowly
F
Circling around
F C G
Flashing headlights, beaming lowly
F
Circling around
F C G
Skimming headlines, walking slowly
F
Circling around
F G
Flashing headlights, beaming lowly
F F
Circling around

[Verse 2]
C C/B Am G F
So what if I.. don’t kiss thе ring?
C C/B
Will I be kicked to the curb?
F Em Dm
Will I not bеlieve in anything?
F C
We’re not supposed to go outside
F C
And the stores are all closed
C C/B F
Never seen the city so dead and so morose

C C/B
It’s a crisis
Am G F
But we haven’t got the words
C C/B
Or the gall to describe it
F Em Dm
When everybody’s heard
F C
Different information
F C
And it’s slipping through a sieve
F C C/B F
But the cats are all still yowling in the city where I live

[Chorus]
F C G
Skimming headlines, walking slowly
F
Circling around
F C G
Flashing headlights, beaming lowly
F
Circling around
F C G
Skimming headlines, walking slowly
F
Circling around
F C G
Flashing headlights, beaming lowly
F
Circling around
G F
Circling around

[Outro]
G C
