Whatever I do, wherever I go
    Am
The same afterglow
   C7
Is keepin' me low
F                  C/E
 D-d-d-don't wanna lose it
    Fm/Ab                    | G | 
But don't wanna stay here too long (RIFF)


VERSE
     C
They see you go by

   But it's like what they say

You gotta do it again and again (RIFF)

C                             E
 I hear them talkin' and they go on and on
                Am
They think that nothing is wrong
            C7                  F
And so they just carry on about you
                  C/E

But I gotta move out of here (RIFF)


VERSE
C                             E
