Intro:
A / G# / C#m (2x)
A G# C#m
Cat in the upstairs window
G F#
Staring down at me
A G# C#m
Life seems to have a purpose
Cmaj7 F E
When you're wandering aimlessly
A G# C#m
In the meantime what am I missing
G F#
I'm missing out
A G# C#m
In the meantime I will be living
Cmaj7 F E
There is no meantime there is only now
Chorus:
A G#
Is there something I'm supposed to be doing
F#
If there is I just don't know
B E A
Tell me so that I can disobey
G#/G F#
The rules were meant to bend and change
B
If we're not so tight
E A F-E
We won't break when we fall
A G# C#m
Waiting around all day
G F#
They didn't make the play
A G# C#m
Don't get mad you'll only get madder
It's hard to get even when things don't matter
Cmaj7 F E
Stop the tape, play mundane chatter and leave
F#
In between the place you thought you'd be
F
And where you are
F#
In between the place you thought you'd be
F
And where you are
Solo: F# / F / F# / F / F-E F-E
A G# C#m
Check my pulse if I'm living
G F#
Fine time to be alive
A G# C#m
Feel the breeze touch the water
I'll feel better
Cmaj7 F E
There's no way I'd rather pass the time
Chorus:
A G#
Is there something I'm supposed to be doing
F#
If there is I just don't know
B E A
Tell me so that I can disobey
G#/G F#
The rules were meant to bend and change,
bend and change,
bend 'em and change 'em until we break 'em
B
If we're not so tight
E A
We won't break when we fall
A C E
Wandering aimlessly (3x)
