G5
You can't get me down
G5
I got the 'Things are looking up' blues
G5
I know it happens
G5
But  it  never sticks to  my shoes
G5
It's been a long time coming
G5
I never thought it would last
G5
I think about the future
G5
Who  knows  what  might have happened  in the past
C5
Nothing is real
                                 G5
But it feels pretty good all the same
G5
I know you from somewhere
G5
But I can't remember your name
C5
 I don't need much space
                                 G5
But you don't have to step on my toes
      C5
I was looking over there
                                 G5
And all the time it was under my nose

[Chorus]
C5        F5     C5   G5
  Yeah, I should have known
      C5      F5   C5  G5
Which way the wind was blowin'
A5               E5
I was facing the wrong way
A#5                 F5           D5   A5
Always taking the long way round

[Bridge]
E5                          A5
Never looking the right way
G5                         D5  G5
Always going the wrong way
C5                               F5 N.C.
Always taking the long way round

[Keyboard Solo]
G5      C5  F5 C5
G5   F5 C5 G5
A5  E5  A#5  F5

[Guitar Solo]
D5      G5  D5

G5   C5 G5 D5
A5  E5

[Bridge]
E5                          A5
Never looking the right way
G5                         D5
Always going the wrong way
C5                              N.C. F5 N.C.
Always taking the long way round

[Verse 2]
G5
   You can reel me in slowly and surely
G5
But there's a catch to this deal
G5
It's not over yet
G5
I get one more spin of the wheel
G5
I promised myself
G5
I would not get trashed again
G5
But the way I'm feeling right now
G5
That promise is going down the drain, yeah

[Chorus]
C5   F5     C5   G5
I, I should have known
         C5         F5 C5  G5
You were coming and I  was gone
A5               E5
I was facing the wrong way
A#5                 F5       D5  N.C. F5 N.C.
Always taking the long way round
