G 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 C Nothing is real G But it feels pretty good all the same C I know you from somewhere G But I can't remember your name C I don't need much space G But you don't have to step on my toes C I was looking over there G And all the time it was under my nose Chorus: C F C G Yeah, I should have known C F C G Which way the wind was blowin' Am Em I was facing the wrong way A# F D Always taking the long way round Em A Never looking the right way G D Always going the wrong way C F 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 Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  A#  C  D  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
