[Intro]
Em C Bm G
Em C Bm G
[Verse 1]
Em C
Aliens have landed. I don’t know what they’ve demanded
Bm G
But the Earth will never be the same again
Em C
They said: “Take us to your leader,” you know, the usual procedure
Bm G
They demolished all our barricades and then
[Chorus]
Em C Bm
I woke up and the world was just the same
G
As it was yesterday
Em C Bm
We broke up but I still call your name,
G
Like I do every day
[Interlude]
G Bm Em C
G Bm Em C
[Verse 2]
Em C
And in the not-so-distant future, the world’s run by a computer
Bm G
That takes care of every single thing we need
Em C
But if you’ve seen any movie, you’ll know things never go smoothly
Bm G
And we’ll face a huge disaster, guaranteed
[Chorus]
Em C Bm
And then I woke up and the world was just the same
G
As it was yesterday
Em C Bm
We broke up but I still call your name,
G
Like I do every day
[Refrain]
G Bm Em C
And I’d do anything, anything, anything, anything to stop myself from thinking about you
G Bm Em C
Yes, I’d do anything, anything, anything, anything to stop myself from thinking about
you
[Bridge]
Em7 G
And I really need to shake off this addiction
Em7 G D
But, instead, I’m sat here watching science fiction
[Solo]
Em C Bm G
Em C Bm G
[Verse 3]
Em C
I took this retro spaceship for an interstellar day trip
Bm G
And I went as fast as Einstein would allow
Em C
It belongs to some mad scientist. I don’t know how he acquired it
Bm G
But a time machine would suit me better now
[Chorus]
Em C Bm
So I could wake up and have the world be just the same
G
As it was yesterday
Em C Bm
We didn’t break up and you still call my name,
G
You never went away
[Refrain]
G Bm Em C
And I’d do anything, anything, anything, anything to stop myself from thinking about you
G Bm Em C
Yes, I’d do anything, anything, anything, anything to stop myself from thinking about
you
G Bm Em C
Yeah, I’d do anything, anything, anything, anything to stop myself from thinking about
you
G Bm Em C
Yeah, I’d do anything, anything, anything, anything to stop myself from thinking about
you, Oh
[Outro]
G Bm Em C
