Am
Wake up here I go
  G
Cram it all down my throat
  F                     G
Stomach so full that I wish I could choke
Am      G
Seven a.m. my head’s
F              G
Already in a spin
               Am
As soon as I’m out that door
        G                           F
Bam it hits me like a ton of those red bricks
       G                      Am      G
Can’t dig myself out of this highest ditch
      F
This madness

 Chorus::
    G
I swear sometimes
                    C
I can’t tell which way’s up, which way's down
     G
It’s all up in my face need to push it away
          F
Somebody push it away
                   C  Dm F C
So all that I can hear
              C  Dm F C
Is a simple song
            C
Sing along now
         Dm    F
La la la la la
         C
La la la la
         Dm   F
La la la la la
         C
La la la la

Midday sun beatin' on the concrete
Burnin' up my feet
Too many cars on the street
The noise, the red, the green
Makes me wanna scream
Five o'clock, now it's
bumper on bumper on bumper
Horns honkin', nobody's looking,
but everybody's talkin'
Just another day on this highway

I swear, sometimes, I can't tell
Which way is up, which way is down
It's all up in my face, need to push it away
Somebody, push it away
'Cause all I wanna hear

Chorus:
I swear, sometimes, I can't tell
Which way is up, which way is down
It's all up in my face, need to push it away
Somebody, push it away
'Cause all I wanna hear
Oh, is a simple song, mmm
Sing along now
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

Hey
Sing along now
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Sing along
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

 Em
What I’d give
    Am
To turn it off
     F
And make it stop
Make it stop
Ya gotta make it stop
                   C  Dm F C
So all that I can hear

Is a simple song, mmm
Sing along now
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la
La, da, da, da
La, la, la, la, la
La, da, da, da
