Strollin' is that so wrong,
Dm
Can I get my co-defendant

Chorus:
Dm
  It Must have been a hundred miles,
A#7
  Any of a hundred styles,
A7                    G7
 It's not about the smile you wear,
A#7               C
  But the way we make out
Dm
  When I was an all-aloner,
A#7
  Nothin' but a two beach comber,
A7        G7               A#7
 Anybody seen the sky? I'm,
           C
I'm wide awake now

Workin' the beat as we speak
Workin' the belle du monde
Believe in the havoc we wreak
Believin', is that so wrong
Can I get my co-dependent?

Hump de bump doop bodu

Chorus:
Listen to me what I said
Try to get it through your head
A little bit of circumstance and
A chance to make out
Livin' in a citadel
It's hard enough to be yourself
Waiting for the bell to toll
And I am wide awake now

It must have been a hundred miles
Or any of a hundred styles
It's not about the smile you wear
But the way we make out
When I was another loner
Nothin' but a two beach comber
Anybody seen the sky?
I'm, I'm wide awake now
