[Verse]
A         D          G        E
Wish everybody would leave me alone, yeah!
A              D             G    E
They're always calling on my tele-phone
A        D          G            E
When I pick it up there's no-one there               
     D
So I walk outside just to take air
A            D           G        E
Come on with me cruising down the street
A         D               G              E
Who knows what you'll see, who you might meet
A              D            G        E
This brave new world's not like yesterday
       D
It can take you higher than the milky way
A       D         G          E
Now I'm blinded I can really see, yeah
A       D             G         E
No more bright lights confusing me, no
A         D         G        E   
Don't ask me why I'm feeling blue
        D                      A
Because loving you is all I can do

[Verse]
A           D         G      E 
Hey good looking boys gather around
A            D             G         E
The sidewalk papers gutter press you down
A         D           G    E
All those lies can be so unkind
         D
They can make you feel like you're losing your mind



[Chorus]
A           D G E

[Verse]
A         D              G         E
Back to nature boys - vasser girls too
A          D           G         E
Watch what you say, or think, or do
A           D      G            E
Continental-style strasse girls might
        D
But you know exactly if it´s wrong or right
A    D         G          E
Education is an important key - yes
A       D                G          E
But the good life´s never won by degrees - no
A         D              G           E
Pointless passing through harvard or yale
           D
Only window shopping - its strictly no sale
A        D              G          E
Week end starts friday soon after eight
A         D           G           E
Your jet black magic helps you celebrate
A          D           G          E
You may be stranded if you stick around
            D
- and that´s really something...
