When you were making your plans

Shaking the dirt off?

Do you feel like

        Am    Em
You and I belong? (Oh woah oh!)

VERSE:
            G
I've been checking my sums

   Am                  Em
Oh where did the time go?

         G
Holding my photograph

Am           Em
Up to the window

             G
Through the paper

       Am        Em
And refracted sun (Oh woah oh!)

      G
I can see all the things

Am              Em
I wish that I'd done
CHORUS:
                   D    Em         C
You can hang your hopes on the medicine

You can do so much better than this

Get a grip on yourself

      A
Get a grip on yourself

         G                              Am
Could've been something, but you're too late

And you weren't invited anyway
CHORUS:
              D      Em              C
Cos the photograph showed the wrong man

Cos there is no soap star holding your hand

                  D    Em            C
You don't see yourself in the freeze frame

                D     Em        C
Must be someone else using your name
