G (goes on for the entirety of every verse)
Verse 1:
GJust the other day
GSomebody said to me
GHey maybe you're just slightly schizophrenic
GAnd a little out of reach my friend
GI said 'yes, that's partly true' but jokes aside
GI can explain, it's just my way of keeping track
GWith living on this planet
GNow then, have you turned on your TV
GHave you seen reality
GHave you found the programme that
You've spent your whole life looking for 
GThere's a girl in Camden town
GIndecision makes her frown
GWhich dress would she wear today
GAnd which way should she smile at me
Chorus 1:
CHow did it come to this
CHow did it ever come to Gthis
Verse 2:
GAll this noise and all these lights
GAll this talking through the night
GAll this expectation now it's making me neurotic
GTell me, have I seen your face before
GI forgot to say hello
GThought I'd made it clear now
GThat I've always been a smiler, tell me
Chorus 2:
CHow did it come to this
CHow did it ever come to Gthis
CHow did it come to this
CHow did it ever come to Gthis
Bridge:
GSometimes it's like I'm a wCorld away
CSometimes I feel a Cworld away
Verse 3:
GJust the other day somebody said to me
GHey maybe you are oh so slightly OCD
GA little out of reach my friend
GI said yes that's partly true but jokes aside
GPlease stay with me
GIt's just my way of compartmentalizing
GAll the things I see
Chorus 3:
CHow did it come to this
CHow did it ever come to Gthis
CHow did it come to Gthis
CHow did it ever come to Gthis

Verse 1:

Just the other day

Somebody said to me

Hey maybe you're just slightly schizophrenic

And a little out of reach my friend

I said 'yes, that's partly true' but jokes aside

I can explain, it's just my way of keeping track

With living on this planet

Now then, have you turned on your TV

Have you seen reality

Have you found the programme that

You've spent your whole life looking for

There's a girl in Camden town

Indecision makes her frown

Which dress would she wear today

And which way should she smile at me

Chorus 1:

How did it come to this

C G

How did it ever come to this

Verse 2:

All this noise and all these lights

All this talking through the night

All this expectation now it's making me neurotic

Tell me, have I seen your face before

I forgot to say hello

Thought I'd made it clear now

That I've always been a smiler, tell me

Chorus 2:

How did it come to this

Sometimes I feel a world away

Verse 3:

Just the other day somebody said to me

Hey maybe you are oh so slightly OCD

A little out of reach my friend

I said yes that's partly true but jokes aside

Please stay with me

It's just my way of compartmentalizing

All the things I see
