verse 1 
F                                  Dm 
I've been running circles lately, I've been doing time 
 C                           Bb 
I've been on the avenues, spinning out of my mind 
 F                            Dm 
And I've been on t-shirts, lady I've been on TV 
 C                                       Bb 
I've been looking through your eyes, and that's my tragedy 

Pre-Chorus 
  F 
I really wanna tell you now 
  Dm 
Baby, if I'm allowed 
  C                                 Bb 
Maybe if I can teach you all the things I know by now 
 F 
I really wanna beat the world 
  Dm 
Baby, if I'm allowed 
  C                                     Bb 
Maybe if there's a moon beam, were the color I'd know how 


[Refrão]
   F                     Dm 
Tell me, tell me, is it real, Vamala? 
  C                   Bb 
Am I up as high as I feel, or am I dying? 
  F                     Dm 
Tell me, tell me, is it real, Vamala? 
  C                    Bb 
Am I up as high as I feel, or am I dying? 

verse 2 
   F                              Dm 
I've been tryna reach you lately, I've been on my knees 
   C                             Bb 
I've been with the Eskimos, at minus 10 degrees 
  F                                  Dm 
And I've been on the ocean, lately, I've been through the trees 
   C                          Bb 
I went out with Bowie in the 1970's 

Pre-Chorus 
  F 
I really wanna tell you now 
  Dm 
Baby, if I'm allowed 
  C                                 Bb 
Maybe if I can teach you all the things I know by now 
 F 
I really wanna beat the world 
  Dm 
Baby, if I'm allowed 
  C                                     Bb 
Maybe if there's a moon beam, were the color I'd know how

Am I up as high as I feel, or am I dying? 
  F                     Dm 
Tell me, tell me, is it real, Vamala? 
  C                    Bb 
Am I up as high as I feel, or am I dying? 

Bridge 
  F 
Never had to met you 
  Dm 
Never had to met you 
  C 
Never had to met you 
        Bb 
If I'd never had to met you 

  F 
Never had to met you 
  Dm 
Never had to met you
