"I Should Get Up"          Teddy Thompson
[Verse]
BmDepression looms I'm such a Dmiserable fool
BmI stay in bed I don't wanna Dgo to school
But I see the Gsun is beating Ddown
There's no exGcuses from the cDlouds
[Chorus]
And I should get Aup
I should go Eout
I'm sure there's Gsomething I can't do Dwithout
I should get Aup
I should get Gup
I should get Bmup
[Verse]
BmI've heard it said that life will Dpass you by
BmLive underground pretty soon that's Dwhere you lie
It’s so Gwarm in my Droom
I'm safe and Gsound inside my Dtomb
[Chorus]
And I should get Aup
I should go Eout
I'm sure there's Gsomething I can't do wDithout
I should get Aup
I should get Gup
I should get Bmup
BmThe world goes on Awithout Eme
     EmA,        Em  A  
I know it, I know  it
EmNo one F#mmisses the Emquiet Akid
Bm      D
Bm      D
And there are Gthings I may have Dmissed
But living Gignorant is Dbliss
I'm so Awrapped up in Emyself
I got no Gtime for everyone Delse, so
[Chorus]
And I should get Aup
I should go Eout
I'm sure there's Gsomething I can't do Dwithout
I should get Aup
I should get Gup
I should get Bmup
I should go Eout
I'm sure there's Gsomething I can't do Dwithout
I should get Aup
I should get Gup
I should get Bmup
BmOh oh
