[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

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
