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
              woke up sweating over the state of affairs
from my mountain isolation
up 3 flights of stairs

and i wish it were morning
and i wish this was over
this type of thing used to throw me but now i’m older

so i just stay naked, make a coffee and some toast
scroll through the news of the hour
try not to hold it too close
eventually get myself out the door
eventually breathe in the cool air
process the fact that i’m here and that you are there

skimming headlines, walking slowly
circling around
flashing headlights, beaming lowly
circling around
skimming headlines, walking slowly
circling around
flashing headlights, beaming lowly
circling around

so what if i don’t kiss the ring?
will i be kicked to the curb?
will i not believe in anything?
we’re not supposed to go outside
and the stores are all closed
never seen the city so dead and so morose
 
it’s a crisis
but we haven’t got the words
or the gall to describe it
when everybody’s heard
different information
and it’s slippin’ through a sieve
but the cats are all still yowling in the city where i live
 
skimming headlines, walking slowly
circling around
flashing headlights, beaming lowly
circling around
skimming headlines, walking slowly
circling around
flashing headlights, beaming lowly
circling around
circling around
