[Intro] | Am G Am | Am | Am G Am | Am | | Am G Am | Am | Am G Am | Am | [Verse 1]
       Am
I have tried marijuana

      G
I get nervous every time

Am                                G
There will come a knockin' at the door

Am                      G 
Why is everybody makin' eyes at me?

G               Am     G
I don't want to know
[Bridge]
Am         G
Excuse and pardon me

Am         G
Stay for a while

Am          G
Maybe we'll never

G     Am   G
Meet again
[Chorus]
G            Am              G
I can see my lifetime piling up

G             Am             G
I can see the days turn into nights

G             Am            G
I can see the people on the street

G          Am         G
Open those windows up

G        
A hundred floors below me

Am           G
Pilin' those houses up

G           Am              G
Pilin' them higher, higher, higher

G               Am               G
I can feel them swayin' back and forth

G           Am
Building it higher, higher

G                          Am
This tower's learning over
[Verse 2]
       Am
I got bad coordination

        G
Stuck a pencil in my eye

Am                            G
I can hardly wait to get back home

Am                       G
Why is everybody gettin' paranoid?

    Am              G
I's only havin' fun

Am            G
Scum-bags and superstars

Am           G
Tell me your names

Am          G      
I'll make a bet, you're

G        Am  G
Both the same
[Chorus]
G            Am              G
I can see my lifetime pilin' up

G                Am             G
Reaching from my bedroom to the stars

G             Am                G
I can see the house where I was born

G          Am         G
When I was growin' up - they say that

G             Am               G
I could never keep my trousers up

G          Am             G
I remember days and crazy nights

G             Am              G
Are there any pirates on this ship?

G           Am       G
And if they sober up - they'll have us home by morning
[Bridge] | C | % |
C         Dm
Cry, cry, cry

Dm                Am
It's just you and I

Am            Dm
Like an automobile

Dm                 Am
With no one at the wheel

Am              Dm       
Spinning out of control

F                  C     
We're all over the road

C             G
In our sexy machine

G
All the passengers 

Am              G
Scream, scream, scream!
[Chorus]
G            Am              G
I can see my lifetime pilin' up

G            Am            G
I can see it smashin' into yours

G             Am          G
It was not an accident at all

G         Am        G
Open your window up - I hear you laughin'

G     Am                     G
Goin' one, two, three, four, five

G              Am            G
Goin' from the bottom to the top

G         Am             G
Maybe I'm holding on too tight

G           Am        
And now I'm growin' up

G            
I got a funny feeling

Am           G
Pilin' those houses up

G           Am              G
Pilin' them higher, higher, higher

G             Am             G
Building that highway to the stars

G               Am         G
And turning the music up - Hey!

G 
I got a winning number
