Intro: F Am F Am F  

 
verse 1 
 
Am                       D 
  Heard a song the other day 
Am                     D 
  About a major out in space 
G                C                Em 
  And though the song was kind of grey 
           F 
It took me far away 

D 

verse 2 
 
Am                         D 
  Heard the news the other day 
Am                     D 
  About a sailor oh so gay 
G                Bm            Am 
  And though his policies were grey 
Bb             Bm 
  They took me far away 
         C        Bm        Am 
'Cause I couldn't stand the thought 
         C        Bm        Am 
Of being taken in again 

 
         G       Em        C     G 
Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan 
       Am             G          D 
Do you know what it's like to be outside 
        D             Bb               D 
All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide 
        F#m   D           Em      Am 
And you do,       and you do, Mr. Groan

verse 2 
 
Am                  D 
  Heard a song just yesterday 
Am                         D 
  About a man who sold the world away 
G                                     Am 
  And though the song was still quite grey 
Bb           Bm 
  It took me far away 
         C        Bm        Am 
'Cause I couldn't stand the thought 
         C        D      Am 
Of being taken in again 


         G       Em        C     G 
Have you seen my life, Mr. Groan 
       Am             G          D 
Do you know what it's like to be outside 
        D             Bb               D 
All you have to do is smile to cause a landslide 
        F#m   Am          Em      Am 
And you do,       and you do, Mr. Groan
