 E
Lethargy got a hold of me
   D#m                   F#
And I don't know how to shake it
          E
Got these itchy feet for a change of scene
   D#m    G#m    F#
Do anything to escape it

 E
Get up, get up, pressure, pressure
 G#m                         F#  D#m
Run away as fast as you can go
E
Everyday our friends and lovers
 G#m                        F#  D#m
Give the answers everybody knows

Chorus:
                    E              B
You told me not to be like anybody else
 G#m                  F#
Headspin, happiness, death
 E              B
Be like anybody else
  G#m                    F#
Broke down, nothing else left
      E
You checked out years ago
     B                 F#
Oh what I'd to not to worry like you
      E
You checked out years ago
     B                 F#
Oh what I'd do not to worry like you
"C'mon, relax"

There's an Englishman up in space these days
Floating in awe and wonder
As he broke away from the atmosphere
And all of us non-believers

Get up, get up, pressure, pressure
Run away as fast as you can go
Every day your friends and lovers
Give the answers everybody knows

Chorus:
You told me not to be like anybody else
Head spin, happiness, death
Be like anybody else
Broke down, nothing else left
You checked out years ago
Oh what I'd do not to worry like you
You checked out years ago
Oh what I'd do not to worry like you

G#m        F#/A#     B
Paint the scene for me
          C#m        B/D#      E
Paint it bright and paint it clear
                G#m    F#/A#  B
I don't want to use my imagination here
              C#m     B/D# E
Don't want to use my imagination here

Paint the scene for me
Paint it bright and paint it clear
I don't want to use my imagination here
Don't want to use my imagination here

Chorus:
You told me not to be like anybody else
Head spin, happiness, death
Be like anybody else
Broke down, nothing else left
You checked out years ago
Oh what I'd do not to worry like you
You checked out years ago
Oh what I'd do not to worry like you
