[Intro 1]
[D][C]
[D][C]

[Verse 1]
Been chan[D]gin'
my flight for a week now
Not a chance of gettin' off the ground
And [C]I mighta lost some o' my marbles
So I'm checkin' with the lost and found

[Verse 2]
I'm only [D]tryna stay ahead of danger
And the tickin' of the thin red hand
But in a [C]half a second I got older

[Verse 3]
It's gettin' harder now to understand
[D]Wo woh [E]time keep runnin'
[G]Gettin' my stopwatch wound
[D]Wo woh [E]moon or sunnin'
[G]Day and night'll both be day
And night'll both be

[Interlude 1]
Keepin' me above the ground
[D][C]

[Verse 4]
Been wakin' [D]up with my
nose in the eggs now
And I suppose that I could use a shower
But [C]I'll never turn the other cheek now
I guess the "Tude" is gettin' dark and sour

[Verse 5]
I gotta [D]man-up to to what I been thinkin'
Not a crime to wanna kick it alone
But I [C]have come to know
what is a real crime
To mortify what you don't own
[D]Wo woh, [E]time keep runnin'

[Verse 6]
[G]Gettin' my stopwatch wound
[D]Wo woh, [E]moon or sunnin'
[G]Day and night'll both be day
And night'll both be
Keepin' me above the ground
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[Am][D]
[Fm][C]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Shoot for the ground
And you [D]know what you'll find
[Fm]You'll get the ground every [C]time
[Am]Shoot for the moon
While your [D]thoughts stay sublime
[Fm]You'll get something in between

[Interlude 3]
[C][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Wo[C][D]
[C]woh[D], tim[E]e keep runnin'
[G]Gettin' my stopwatch wound
[D]Wo woh, [E]moon or sunnin'
[G]Day and night'll both be day
And night'll both be
Keepin' me above the
