Intro: C Am F (2x) 

C                       Am                 F  
 There's a traffic jam outside my   window  
C                             Am               F  
 There's a red light on that just won't change  
C                              Am                  F  
 The pavement's full of cracks from all the sunshine  
C                                      Am                    F  
 But now they're filling up 'cause the rain is falling down  
Dm7                          G7                G  
I'm running round in circles trying to find my way  

  
 
            C       Am      
It's a slow day, without you  
            C         Am          
It's a slow day, when you're not around  
            C        Am     
It's a slow day with no escape  
            F      G7     G  
It's a slow day without you  

 

C                             Am             F  
 There's a jet-plane up there hanging in the sky  
C                              Am                 F  
 Just kind of resting his wings on that big white cloud  
C                      Am                F  
 Minutes taking on but stretching out forever  
C                                  Am               F  
 Just like the rooftops out there - they all melt together  
Dm7                          G7                G 
I'm running round in circles trying to find my way 

 
            C       Am      
It's a slow day, without you  
            C         Am          
It's a slow day, when you're not around  
            C        Am     
It's a slow day with no escape  
            F      G7     G  
It's a slow day without you  

 


F                  Am  
24 long hours with nothing to do  
F                   Am         Am7          F  
24 long hours just hanging on, waiting for you  
                C          
It's gonna be a slow day  
                Dm7      G7  G 
It's gonna be a slow day  

 
            C       Am      
It's a slow day, without you  
            C         Am          
It's a slow day, when you're not around  
            C        Am     
It's a slow day with no escape  
            F      G7     G  
It's a slow day without you  
            C  
It's a slow day  
            F  
It's a slow day  
            C  
It's a slow day
