Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][G][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
I [Am]have
tried marijuana
I get nervous every time
There will come a knockin' at the door
Why is everybody makin' eyes at [E]me?[Am]
I don't want to know
Excuse and pardon me
Stay for a while

[Verse 2]
Maybe we'll never meet again
[Am]
I can see my lifetime piling up
[G]I c[Am]an see the days turn into nights
I can see the people on [G]the street
Open [Am]those windows up
[G]A hundre[Em]d flo[G]ors below[Em] me
[Am]Pilin' those houses up
Pilin' them higher, [G]higher[Am], hi[G]gher
I can feel them [Am]swayin'
back and [G]forth
[Am]Building it higher, higher
[G]This tower's learning ove[Em]r
[G][Am]

[Verse 3]
I got [Am]bad coordination
Stuck a pencil [E]in my eye
[Am]I can hardly wait to get back home
Why is everybody gettin' paranoid?
[E]I's onl[Am]y havin' fun
Scum-bags and and super[E]stars
[Am]Tell me your names
I'll [G]make [Am]a bet, you're
Both the same

[Verse 4]
I can see my [Am]lifetime pilin' [G]up
Reaching from my [Am]bedroom to the stars
[Dm]I can see the ho[Am]use
where I was [G]born
When I was [Am]growin' [G]up - they say that
I could never [Am]keep my [G]trouser[Am] s up[G]
[Am]I re[G]member[Am] days and crazy nights[G]
Are there any [Am]pirates on this ship?
And if they sober [Dm]up[G]
- they'll have us
Home by [E]morning

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G][Am][E]
[Am][G][E][G][Am][E][Am][E][G][E]
[Am]Cry, cry, cry

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
It's just you and [Am]I
Like an automobile
[E]With no one at the whe[Am]el
Spinning out of [Dm]con trol
We're all over [Am]the r[C]oad
In our sexy [E]machine[G#dim][E]
All the passengers scream
Scream, scream!

[Verse 6]
I can see my [Am]lifetime pilin' up
[G]I can[Dm] see it [Am]smashin' into yours
[F]It was [Dm]not an [Am]accident at [G]all
Open [Dm]your [Am]window [Dm]up[G]
- I hear you laughin'

[Verse 7]
Goin' [Am]one, two, three, four, [G]five
[Am]Goin' from the bottom [Dm]to the t[G]op
Maybe [Am]I'm holding on too t[G]ight
And now I'm [Am]growin' up
[Dm]I go[G]t a funny feeling
[Am]Pilin' those houses [G]up
[Am]Pilin' them higher, [Dm]higher, [G]higher
Building that [Am]highway to the stars
And turning the [Am]mu sic up - Hey!
[G]I got a win[Am] ning number
