[Intro]
F5 G5
[Verse 1]
G5
You can't get me down
G5
I got the 'Things are looking up' blues
G5
I know it happens
G5
But it never sticks to my shoes
G5
It's been a long time coming
G5
I never thought it would last
G5
I think about the future
G5
Who knows what might have happened in the past
C5
Nothing is real
G5
But it feels pretty good all the same
G5
I know you from somewhere
G5
But I can't remember your name
C5
I don't need much space
G5
But you don't have to step on my toes
C5
I was looking over there
G5
And all the time it was under my nose
[Chorus]
C5 F5 C5 G5
Yeah, I should have known
C5 F5 C5 G5
Which way the wind was blowin'
A5 E5
I was facing the wrong way
A#5 F5 D5 A5
Always taking the long way round
[Bridge]
E5 A5
Never looking the right way
G5 D5 G5
Always going the wrong way
C5 F5 N.C.
Always taking the long way round

[Bridge]
E5 A5
Never looking the right way
G5 D5
Always going the wrong way
C5 N.C. F5 N.C.
Always taking the long way round
[Verse 2]
G5
You can reel me in slowly and surely
G5
But there's a catch to this deal
G5
It's not over yet
G5
I get one more spin of the wheel
G5
I promised myself
G5
I would not get trashed again
G5
But the way I'm feeling right now
G5
That promise is going down the drain, yeah
[Chorus]
C5 F5 C5 G5
I, I should have known
C5 F5 C5 G5
You were coming and I was gone
A5 E5
I was facing the wrong way
A#5 F5 D5 N.C. F5 N.C.
Always taking the long way round
[Outro]
N.C.
You can't get me down
I got the "Things are looking up" blues
I know it happens
But it never sticks to my shoes
It's been a long time coming
I never thought it would last
I think about the future
Who knows what might have happened in the past?
And nothing is real
But it feels pretty good all the same
I know you from somewhere
But I can't remember your name
I don't need much space
But you don't have to step on my toes
I was looking over there
And all the time it was under my nose
I should have known
Which way the wind was blowin'
I was facing the wrong way
Always taking the long way round
Never looking the right way
Always going the wrong way
Always taking the long way round
Never looking the right way
Always going the wrong way
Always taking the long way round
You can reel me in slowly and surely
But there's a catch to this deal
It's not over yet
I get one more spin of the wheel
I promised myself
I would not get trashed again
But the way I'm feeling right now
That promise is going down the drain, yeah
I should have known
You were coming and I was gone
I was facing the wrong way
Always taking the long way round
