As recorded by Deep Purple (From the 2020 Album WHOOSH!) [Intro] F5 N.C. G5 [Verse 1]
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

[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
[Outro] N.C.
