verse 1 
 C 
Lethargy got a hold of me 
    Em/B          Em      D 
And I don't know how to shake it 
          C  
Got these itchy feet for a change of scene 
    Em/B    Em    D 
Do anything to escape it 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 C 
Get up, get up, pressure, pressure 
 Em                         D  Bm 
Run away as fast as you can go 
C 
Everyday our friends and lovers 
 Em                          D  Bm 
Give the answers everybody knows 
 
                   C                G 
You told me not to be like anybody else 
 Em                   D 
Headspin, happiness, death 
C                G 
Be like anybody else 
  Em                      D 
Broke down, nothing else left 
      C 
You checked out years ago 
    G                  D 
Oh what I'd to not to worry like you 
      C 
You checked out years ago 
    G                  D 
Oh what I'd do not to worry like you

"C'mon, relax" 
 
verse 2 
            C 
There's an English man up in space these days 
Em/B        Em       D 
Floating in awe and wonder 
        C 
As he broke away from the atmospheres 
     Em/B       Em    D 
From all of us non believers 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 C 
Get up, get up, pressure, pressure 
 Em                         D  Bm 
Run away as fast as you can go

Give the answers everybody knows
