Intro: not easy to transcribe the rythm so listen to the song, roughly, the pattern goes

-DDU UDU UDU for the first D
-UDUD for D1
-UDUD for D2
-UD for D3 then back to the first D
I said, listen to the song and figure it out, it's really not hard! Here's the chord progression.
Repeat the D part twice:
     DD1    D2    D3     DD1    D2   D3*    G2    G3  G4

G1You called me up this evening
Cause you wanted to know what’s going on

 Gpart
And I tell you that some folks don’t evolve
They’re content with what they’ve got
They just sit back and they watch G5TV
I talked about September.
Fought about your taste you were on mine
What did you mean anyhow
When you said I’m lost, but there’s still time
And I tell you that some folks don’t evolve
They’re content with what they’ve got
They just sit back and they watch TV
And I tell you that some folks don’t evolve
They’re content with what they’ve got
They just sit back and they watch TV
But that’s not me.
