Capo: 5th fret
[Verse 1]
CI've been running circles lately, IAm've been doing time
IG've been on the avenues, spiFnning out of my mind
ACnd I've been on t-shirts, ladAmy I've been on TV
IG've been looking through your eyes, and Fthat's my tragedy
[Pre-Chorus]
I Creally wanna tell you now
BaAmby, if I'm allowed
MaGybe if I can teach you all the thiFngs I know by now
I Creally wanna beat the world
BaAmby, if I'm allowed
MaGybe if there's a moon beam, with a colFour I'd know how
[Chorus]
TelCl me, tell me, is it rAmeal, Vamala?
Am GI up as high as I fFeel, or am I dying?
TeCll me, tell me, is it Amreal, Vamala?
Am GI up as high as I feFel, or am I dying?
[Verse 2]
I'vCe been tryna reach you lately, AmI've been on my knees
I'vGe been with the Eskimos, at miFnus 10 degrees
AnCd I've been on the ocean, lately, IAm've been through the trees
I wGent out with Bowie in the 1F970's
[Pre-Chorus]
I Creally wanna tell you now
BaAmby, if I'm allowed
MaGybe if I can teach you all the thiFngs I know by now
