G#                 C#maj7/F
I would like to leave this city
  G#                 C#maj7/F
This old town don't smell too pretty and
G#     D#/G     Fm            A#7           C#maj7/F
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

And when I leave this island
I'll book myself into a soul asylum
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

Chorus:
Fm         G#              C7
So here I go, I'm still scratching around in
      Fm       G#
the same old hole
    C#maj7/F                A#/D        D#  D#7
My body feels young but my mind is very old
Fm              G#
So what do you say?
           C7                          Fm      G#
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
         C#maj7/F
You're half the world away
        E
You're half the world away

And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

And if I can leave this spirit
I'll find me a hole and I'll live in it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

Chorus

You're half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found
But I don't feel down
You're half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found
But I don't feel down
I don't feel down
(I don't feel down)
