[Intro]
G A Bm x2
[Verse 1]
G A Bm
I'm crackpot lately I keep looking down
G A Bm
And I'm looking for something that can't be found
G A Bm
And I'm strumbling and rumbling all over town
G A Bm
Just looking for a better sign
[Instrumental]
G A Bm x2
[Verse 2]
G A Bm
I'm industrial jargon with a big lip plan
G A Bm
And I'm not even sure if I take a stand
G A Bm
But I keep on trying hard to understand
G A Bm
What I missing in this life
[Instrumental]
G A Bm x2
[Chorus]
D F#m Bm
Then I wander off in space
E D
Cause there is no better place
F#m Bm
And I target all my thoughts
E D Dsus4 F7sus2 Em7 x2
And I try not to get caught
[Instrumental]
G A Bm x2
[Verse 3]
G A Bm
I'm a city sipper and I get so wired
G A Bm
My attitude is going to get me fired
G A Bm
I like to think straight but it gets me tired
G A Bm
But I hang to that dream
[Instrumental]
G A Bm X2
[Verse 4]

G A Bm
It's hard enough trying to stay on track
G A Bm
Whatever you take you've got to give back
G A Bm
But not everybody knows that
[Chorus]
