LIFETIME PILING UP Talking Heads
|:Am | G:|
I have tried marijuana
I get nervous any time
There will come a knockin' at the door
Why is everybody makin' eyes at me ?
I don't want to know
Excuse and pardon me
Stay for a while
Maybe we'll never
meet again
Am G
I can see my lifetime piling up
Am G
I can see the days turn into nights
Am G
I can see the people on the street
Am
Open those windows up
G
- A hundred floors below me
Am G
Pilin' those houses up
Am G
Pilin' them higher, higher, higher
Am G
I can feel them swayin' back and forth
Am
Building it higher, higher
G
- This tower's learning over
|:Am | G:|
I got bad coordination
Stuck a pencil in my eye
I can hardly wait to get back home
Why is everybody gettin' paranoid ?
I's only havin' fun
Scum bags and superstars
Tell me your names
I'll make a bet, you're
both the same
Am G
I can see my lifetime pilin' up
Am G
Reaching from my bedroom to the stars
Am G
I can see the house where I was born
Am G
When I was growin' up... they say that
Am G
I could never keep my trousers up
Am G
I remember days and crazy nights
Am G
Are there any pirates on this ship ?
Am G
And if they sober up - they have us
Home by morning
|:Em :|
F
Cry, cry, cry
Am
It's just you and I -
Em
Like an automobile
Am
with no one at the wheel
F
Spinning out of control
Am
We're all over the road
Em
In our sexy machine
All the passengers scream
Scream, scream !
|:Am |G :|
I can see my lifetime pilin' up
I can see it smashin' into yours
It was not as accident at all
Open those windows up - I hear you laughin'
Goin' from the bottom to the top
Maybe I'm holding on too tight
And now I'm foldin' up
I got a funny feeling
Pilin' them houses up
Pilin' them higher, higher, higher
Building that highway to the stars
Turning the music up - Hey!
I got a winning number
