Intro
A F#m C#m E x2
Verse
A F#m
In the morning, when i’m woken
C#m E
By the sound of my alarm
A F#m
Stretching out my arm
C#m E
I want to screw it up in my palm
A F#m
And i’ve taken this route to work
C#m E
A thousand times or more
A F#m
And when you’ve seen it all before
C#m E
you tend to get a little bored
Chorus
D Bm F#m
They’ve got the keys to all my doors (They’ve got the keys to all my doors)
D Bm F#m
They hold my where and when (They hold my where and when)
D Bm F#m
So I guess I’ll always be (I guess I’ll always be)
D Bm F#m
Hopelessly devoted to them
Verse
A F#m
In the office when i’m working
C#m E
There’s a funeral atmosphere
A F#m
I know I lost someone dear
C#m E
But i didn’t see him disappear
A F#m
And i’m lying in my bed
C#m E
Cos its keeping me awake
A F#m
And you think theres no escape
C#m E
They’ve bound me up in their tape
Chorus
D Bm F#m
They’ve got the keys to all my doors (They’ve got the keys to all my doors)
D Bm F#m
They hold my where and when (They hold my where and when)
D Bm F#m
So I guess I’ll always be (I guess I’ll always be)
D Bm F#m
Hopelessly devoted to them
