lyrics :

( verse 1 )
well i’m not just a song anymore
i just might be the whole damn score
i might be realing in your head while
you’re sleeping in your bed at night
well i’m not just along anymore
i finally found what i’ve been lookin for
i might be sitting in the passenger’s
side but not along for the ride
cause i have control of a home grown situation
i lay back and then i turn the alarm off and turn out the light
there’s goin to be some quality sleeping
cuz quality’s keeping the quality up at night
i Am fixed to lay with my arms out and learning to fly

( chorus )
Cmaj7
through the darkest space
Gmaj7
where i try to catch up to the catch phrased
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
human race i say let the games begin
F Cmaj7
under way say in conditions that we play in
B7
maybe things are better this way
may the games begin today .

( verse 2 )
’cause i’m just above
the aggrevation of love
and i raise to opimistical fortune and toasting it twice
i’m sitting high on an anytime any day night
and i laugh to think i’m crying my eyes out well isn’t it nice

( chorus x2 )

( outro )
verse chords for a few bars skatting around ’don’t you want some love’
then the outro chords over skatting .

end on and Em or play a natural harmonic on low E string fret 5 .
