Cant Help Thinking About Me

David Bowie


Tom: F#m

E                  C#m
Question time, Dad says
          A         C
I brought dishonour
   F
My head's bowed in shame
   Dm
It seems that
                   E            C D
I've blackened the family name

E
Mother says that
    C#m                        A        C
she can't stand the neighbors' talking
           F
I've gotta pack my bags
Dm
leave this home
      E             C D
start walking, yeah

    A     G
I'm guilty
                  C               A
I wish that I was sorry this time
                    C
I wish that I could pay for my crime


[Chorus]
  D          A              E
I can't help thinking about me
  D          A              E
I can't help thinking about me
  D          A              C   F E
I can't help thinking about me


[Verse 2]
  E              C#m
Remember when we used to go
             A       C
to church on Sundays
  F
I lay awake at night,
Dm
terrified of school
   E       C D
on Mondays

             A             G
Oh, but it's too late now
               C            A
I wish I was a child again
              C
I wish I felt secure again


[Chorus]


[Bridge]
E                D     A
As I pass a recreation ground
    E
I remember my friends,
D           A
always been found
      E
and I can't...


[Chorus]


[Verse 3]
E                C#m
Now I leave them all
             A           C
in the never-never land
    F                Dm
The station seems so cold,
             E           C D
the ticket's in my hand
E                C#m
My girl calls my name
     A     C
"Hi, Dave.
     F           Dm
Drop in, see you around, come back
               E           C D
If you're this way again."
        A         G
Oh, I'm on my own
                C          A
I've got a long way to go
                 C
I hope I make it on my own
