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


[Pre-Chorus]
  C
I really wanna tell you now
  Am
Baby, if I'm allowed
  G                                 F
Maybe if I can teach you all the things I know by now
 C
I really wanna beat the world
  Am
Baby, if I'm allowed
  G                                     F
Maybe if there's a moon beam, with a colour I'd know how


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


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


[Pre-Chorus]
  C
I really wanna tell you now
  Am
Baby, if I'm allowed
  G                                 F
Maybe if I can teach you all the things I know by now
 C
I really wanna beat the world
  Am
Baby, if I'm allowed
  G                                     F
Maybe if there's a moon beam, with a colour I'd know how


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


[Bridge]
  C
Never hadda met you
  Am
Never hadda met you
  G
Never hadda met you
        F
If I'd never hadda met you

  C
Never hadda met you
  Am
Never hadda met you
  G
Never hadda met you
        F
If I'd never hadda met you


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


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