  			Intro - G F# E 

G             F#          E 
Clock strikes 8, up on a monday 

G      F#            E 
Got to bed half past 5 

G      F#                  E 
Can't remember Saturday or Sunday 

G           F# 
And life is grand 



Chorus:  

C                   B        
Doesn't it feel good to be alive 

             A              B 
When you're going somewhere 

A                B 
Going somewhere 


Verse 2: 

G        F#                    E 
Pay for food through bricks and mortar 

G        F#                  E 
Bide my time, try to have some fun 

G        F#                    E 
Half past 10 I drink a little water 

G               F#                    
And time stands still 


Chorus: 

C                       B 
I've seen my future slip through my hands 


C                           B 
Watch the wind whip through, desert sands 

C                    B 
Then I remember I'm no ordinary man 

          A               B 
And I'm a going somewhere 

A               B
