            Trying To Answer Them 






C G Am F
C                          G
So your falling out of a taxi
                F                  C                  G
Your minds a carousel, without no breaks to slow you down
      C                          G
And you've stranded me at some party
                  F                    C                     G
I'm hiding in a wine cupboard, trying hard not to make a sound
Am                                               C
Cause if the cops find me here they'll send me home
Am                                             C
So I got my ear up against the door like a telephone
Am                                                            C
Listening to the Sargent talking to the kid out cold on the stairs
Am                                                         C       G
He says "why would you do it to yourself, yea why would you dare to
 
F                                                         C
It's cause once you got the world you've got to give it back
F               G                 C
And what could be harder than that
 
       C                         G
Well they say being our age is easy
              F                                  C                      G
Well I say they talk to much and you shouldn't judge what they don't know
            C                              G
And whilst hanging on to a third story window
                        F                        C                      G
Well I was trying to answer them whilst hearing words like "don't let go"
       Am                                                         C
And looking to the floor I see a couple trying to bring me to safety
           Am                                            C
And of course I had to comply after all I've been selfish lately
         Am                                             C
It's spinning like a record in my mind, isn't life so easy
            Am                                                    C        G
I've been thinking about that sentence and how it never seems to suit me
 
       F                                                 C
It's cause once you got the world you've got to give it back
                F     G            C
And what could be harder than that
 
C                              G
So lets all grow up and be sensible
                      F              C            G
We'll have life planners, and go for meals at midday
       C                      G
And we could have dealt are current lives
                         F                    C                       G
Instead of saying what "what a night" I would say I'm glad I can now behave
      Am                                             C
And you could show pictures of your eleven month old baby
       Am                                                 C
She's hanging out at home playing games with your little lady
       Am                                            C
She goes into to her room with a bottle for her every night
       Am                                              C   G
And she sits over the crib stringing words to some lullaby
 
       F                                       C
Like once I had the world but had to give it back
        F                 G                  C
But I don't think that I'll be regretting that 
        F                                          C
Yeah once you've got the world you got to give it back
      F             G              C
And what could be harder than that
