C                             A
I see the clouds that move across the sky
C                               A
I see the wind that moves the clouds away
G                   F            Am
It moves the clouds over by the building
G                        F         Am
I pick the building that I want to live in

I smell the pine trees and the peaches in the woods
I see the pinecones that fall by the highway
That's the highway that goes to the building
I pick the building that I want to live in

Chorus:
C                     F      G
It’s over there, it’s over there
D               G
My building has every convenience
D                     G
It’s gonna make life easy for me
D                      G
It’s gonna be easy to get things done
D              G
I will relax alone with my loved ones

E                       D
Loved ones, loved ones visit the building,
          E                 D
take the highway, park and come up and see me
         E                   D
I’ll be working, working but If you come visit
          E                        D
I’ll put down what I’m doing, my friends are
important

F          G           D
Don’t you worry ‘bout me
F           Am          D
I wouldn’t worry about me
F          G           D
Don’t you worry ‘bout me
F          Am          D
Don’t you worry ‘bout me

I see the states across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me

Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building
They own the buildings to help them along

Chorus

I wouldn't worry 'bout me
I wouldn't worry about me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
