Lifetime Piling Up

Tom : Am
Am   G   Am   G   Am   G   Am   G   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
