          D                   A
I ride my bike to work every morning
          D                                            A
I ring my bell, (ding ding!) and make sure my helmet's tight
         E7
At every turn, I issue a warning;
D                            E7
This arm is for left, and this arm is for right!

           D                      A
At the red light, a Toyota pulls beside me
           D                     A
The pretty woman inside it gives a smile!
           E7
That happy grin is enough to provide me
     D                        E7
With total satisfaction for a long, long while!

            D              E7         F#m
And I don't have a car, because of pollution!
A            D              E7                  F#m
So completely not 'cause I'm much too scared to drive!
     A            D      E7      F#m
I've gotten pretty far in my evolution
    A              D          E7      A
And I don't need a lot to be totally alive!

          D                A
I tuck my polo shirt in my Levis
               D
'Cause it looks SHARP!
N.C.
Okay?
                      A
And it makes me feel secure
         E7
How come every person I receive tries
                   D
to tell me I need "something more"?
        E7
I mean, come on, what for?!

               D          E7       F#m
I don't need a girlfriend, I got a goldfish!
A            D                 E7           F#m
She needs my attention, 'cause she is nearly five!
A            D          E7         F#m
I don't have a secret dream, or some bold wish
A                  D          E7        A
And I don't need a lot to be totally alive!
A                       D          E7         A
I'm fine with what I've got, I feel totally alive!

        E7
I got a Captain Kirk action figure,
D                     A
 in the original packaging I've had since I was ten, it's true!
          E7                   D
I'd never open it or shake it, too afraid I'd break it!
F#m                        E7
I've had self-control since way back then

      E7                           D                             
Got a sweet one-bedroom pad, and a loving widowed dad
        E7                             D

40 years of moving at a constant speed
A               D            E7
There's nothing else I really need

                       D      E7         F#m
And you may think that I want more than I let on
A              D          E7         F#m
But I'm really fine, so no need to be appalled
A               D          E7           F#m
I'm this way by choice, and what you can bet on-
    A                D            E7          A
-is I'll keep moving forward, the opposite of stalled

                   D           E7         F#m
And I don't have a car, 'cause they're overrated!
A              D               E7         F#m
I don't have a girlfriend, and somehow, I survive!
            A            D          E7         F#m
Still, I've gotten crazy far! And just as I've stated
A                D
 I mean what I've said
        E7       F#m
"I feel totally alive!"
            A              D
Sure as the helmet's on my head
       E7       F#m
I feel totally alive!
        A           D
I'm the opposite of dead!
       E7       A
I feel totally alive!
