[C] People say I'm crazy [Fmaj7] doin' what I what I'm [C] doing
Well, they [C] give me all kinds of warnings [Fmaj7] to save me from [C] ruin [C]

[Fmaj7] When I say that [Dm] I'm O.K. well they [G] look at me kinda strange [G]
[Fmaj7] Surely you're not [Dm] happy now you no [G] longer play the game [G] [G]

Ahh [C] people say I'm lazy [Fmaj7] dreamin' my [C] life away [C]
Well, they [C] give me all kinds of advice [Fmaj7] designed to [C] enlighten me

[Fmaj7] tell 'em that I'm [Dm] doin fine watching [G] shadows on the wall [G]
[Fmaj7] Don't you miss the [Dm] big time, boy? You're no [G] longer on the ball [G]

[Fmaj7] I tell them there's no [Dm] hurry. I'm just [G] sitting here doing time [G]

[F] I'm just [G] sitting here watching the [C] wheels go round and [Am] round
[F] I really [E/F] love to watch them [Dm] roll [Dm7] [Dm7/C]

  • Excellent - Great voice too man !!

  • Thanks. Thank was excellent. Well done.

    The chorus was troubling me and now I get it.

  • @TheElmaleao... I thought his singing was fine. John himself didn't like the sound of his own singing voice & often demanded reverb in his headphones to put him more at ease when recording.

  • nice singin.

    

  • Nice job. I saw so many videos that werte dead wrong! This is right on the mark! Nice work.

  • nice one

  • @francisCarbone Amen!

  • @TheElmaleao

    "it's hard enough in this world to open yer heart up. don't make it any harder."

  • thanks, good job
