Note: d=downstroke, u=upstroke

There is also a hearable piece of lead guitar underneath the chorus

but not worth working out as the overdriven rhythm guitar drowns most

of it out making it largely irrelevant when playing along.

Hey

You were on the second floor

Hanging out the window watching the cars Passing by

With that look in your eye

I was hanging round below

Waving to ya from the road

I was calling your name

You were miles away

Hey

You've been wondering

What's it to ya

You've been questioning why

All day

It's such a silly thing

Still it threw ya

Caught you by surprise

You're coming to me loud and clear

There's nothing really for us here

Its a terrible thing

Hanging on by a string

There's nothing left for me to say

You've said it all already now I won't

Add anymore

I'll just slip out the door

Hey

You've been wondering

What's it to ya

You've been questioning why all day

It's such a silly thing

Still it threw ya

Caught you by surprise

You and I so sick

And tired of

Hanging around

You and me we both

Agree it's all over now

All over now

Hey

You've been wondering

What's it to ya

You've been questioning why all day

It's such a silly thing

Still it threw ya

Caught you by surprise
