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
