Intro: E F#m7 A 2x
C#m G#m F#m
Running down my batteries
C#m G#m F#m
Laying me out to rest
C#m G#m F#m
Knowing when that in five hours
C#m G#m F#m
I wake up into stress
E A
And I'm digging myself into a hole
E
And these days I just work
A
On when one song had so much soul
CHORUS:
E F#m A7+
And lately I've forgotten who I am
E F#m A7+
Need to let my energy just drain away
E F#m A7+
And now my mind is working overtime

Such a long day, ay, ay
mmm
C#m G#m F#m
And while all my contemporary (all my friends say)
C#m G#m F#m
Are sitting in college now (sitting in a desk)
C#m G#m F#m
My education is dragging, dragging (yeah yeah)
C#m G#m F#m
My guitar through London town
E A
And the thing that wakes me when I could sleep instead
E
Is the thought that tonight
A
I could fall back into bed
Chorus:
E F#m A7+
And lately, I've forgotten who I am

A restless mind so much
