I'm [Fm]sitting here in the [Cm7]boring room,
it's [Fm]just another rainy sunday [Cm7]afternoon.

and I [Fm]wonder. [Cm7] [Fm]

But [Db]all, that I can [Eb]see, is just a yellow [Ab]lemon tree. [Eb]
I'm [Ab]turnin' my head [Eb]up and down;
I'm [Fm]turnin', turnin', turnin', turnin', [Cm7]turnin' around,
And [Db]all, that I can [Bb/D]see, is just another [Eb]lemon tree.

I'm [Fm]sitting here, I [Cm7]miss the power.
I'd [Fm]like to go out, [Cm7]taking a shower.
But [Fm]there's a heavy cloud in[Cm7]side my head.
I [Fm]feel so tired, put my[Cm7]self into bed.
When [Bbm7]nothing ever happens [Cm7]
and I [Fm]wonder. [Cm7] [Fm]
