G (goes on for the entirety of every verse)
Just the other day
Verse 1:
[G]Somebody said to me
[G]Hey maybe you're just slightly schizophrenic
[G]And a little out of reach my friend
[G]I said 'yes, that's partly true' but jokes aside
[G]I can explain, it's just my way of keeping track
[G]With living on this planet
[G]Now then, have you turned on your TV
[G]Have you seen reality
[G]Have you found the programme that
You've spent your whole life looking for
[G]There's a girl in Camden town
[G]Indecision makes her frown
[G]Which dress would she wear today
[G]And which way should she smile at me
Chorus 1:
[C]How did it come to this
[C]How did it ever come to [G]this
Verse 2:
[G]All this noise and all these lights
[G]All this talking through the night
[G]All this expectation now it's making me neurotic
[G]Tell me, have I seen your face before
[G]I forgot to say hello
[G]Thought I'd made it clear now
[G]That I've always been a smiler, tell me
Chorus 2:
[C]How did it come to this
[C]How did it ever come to [G]this
[C]How did it come to this
[C]How did it ever come to [G]this
Bridge:
[G]Sometimes it's like I'm a w[C]orld away
[C]Sometimes I feel a [C]world away
Verse 3:
[G]Just the other day somebody said to me
[G]Hey maybe you are oh so slightly OCD
[G]A little out of reach my friend
[G]I said yes that's partly true but jokes aside
[G]Please stay with me
[G]It's just my way of compartmentalizing
[G]All the things I see
Chorus 3:
[C]How did it come to this
[C]How did it ever come to [G]this
[C]How did it come to [G]this
[C]How did it ever come to [G]this
