F#       B 
Thinking back now 
A 
Lazing on hazy days although in many ways 
F#          B 
It's always a task 
A 
What we used to see on the TV on Saturdays 
F#       B    A 
Seems so far away 

I think to myself, now's the time to self indulge 
F#         B     A 
And on the other side 

Is a program about someone who died 

F#       E             C          D               
I get so tired, dinner time is at home (not here)

F#          E            C           D          
Mine is the truth, never ending year after year

verse 2: 

F#          B 
A change of scene 
  A 
I know, oh happy days, meeting people on the way 
F#         B  A 
And on the TV screen 

Oh dear, what's the time? You used to be a friend of mine 
F#           B 
It's time to go now 
A 
La la laa, la la laa, la la laa, la la laa, 
F#          B 
I'm turning round now 
A 
La la laa, la la laa, la la laa, la la laa, 

F#               E      C         D          F#  E  C  D 
What's happening now, I never see eye to eye 
F#  E     C             D          F#  E  C  D 
All ideas blown up high in the sky 

Chorus: 
G      C           A        D 
I'm so sorry which I cannot show 
      E         Bb            Am                F 
But I can't say anymore, I've got to go home to my own world
