Thinking back now
A
Lazing on hazy days although in many ways
F# B
It's always a task
A
What we used to see on the TV on Saturdays
F# B A
Seems so far away
I think to myself, now's the time to self indulge
F# B A
And on the other side
Is a program about someone who died
F# E C D
I get so tired, dinner time is at home (not here)

F# B
I'm turning round now

La la laa, la la laa, la la laa, la la laa,

But I can't say anymore, I've got to go home to my own world
