E------------4---2---0---2---4-----|
Verse 1:
B5          G#5         A5          F#5           G#5           F#5
   When the hands that  operate the motor lose control of the   lever
B5          G#5         A5         F#5        G#5           F#5
   When the mind of its own in the wheel puts two and two together
B5          G#5       A5                 F#5
   When the indicator says you're out of oil,
              G#5              F#5
   Should you continue driving anyway?
B5           G#5             A5            F#5              G#5
   There's a thermostat that regulates the temperature that might not be
A5            B5              Bb5
Reliable That should be disconnected
Chorus:
B5      A5          G#5  G5  F#5
Turn it up, turn it down
B5      A5      G#5       G5         F#5
Turn it up when the cold brings you down
B5       A5           G#5 G5      F#5
When the heat bothers you turn it down
B5      A5          G#5  G5  F#5
Turn it up, turn it down
Post Chorus::
G5       F#5
  As I was just saying
E5       F#5
  As I was just saying
E5   F#5        G#5           Bb5     B5
  As I was just telling you a minute ago
Verse 2:
I was just talking
And Someone interrupted
Or was it a loud explosion?
Or is the thermostat engulfed in flames
Or is it just me?
Chorus:
Turn it up, turn it down
Turn it up when the cold brings you down
When the heat bothers you turn it down
Turn it up, turn it down
Post Chorus:
As I was just saying
As I was just saying
As I was just saying
( Bass Part Repeated )
Final Chorus:
Turn it up, turn it down
Turn it up when the cold brings you down
When the heat bothers you turn it down
Turn it up, turn it down
Turn it up, turn it down
Turn it up when the cold brings you down
When the heat bothers you turn it down
Turn it up, turn it down
