A#                     D#
I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs
                A#
And everybody thinks it's funny
              F 
I don't get mad
A#                              D#
I don't laugh cause you don't shave your legs
                A#
But everybody thinks it's funny
                 F  A D
No need to get mad
A#                          D#
I don't spend my time with anyone
                       A#
Who doesn't think I'm wonderful
                     F              A D
Or somewhat cash refundable at times

Chorus:
C                          Em
Now I'm out here counting airplanes
           Am
Trying to make sense of the change
             F            Dm
And I don't wanna be just anybody
C                         Em
So don't try to figure me out
                           Am
I won't try to figure you out
                      Dm          F
I don't wanna be some average anybody

Now I got friends that ride into the storm
And ride out of the storm with nothing
They rode into the storm with
And there seems to be a price for everything
You get what you pay for then you pay for
What you already thought you bought before

Chorus

             A
When you're up between the new sky line
     D
The city lights and the warm sunshine
        A        D
It's a long way down

When you can count on one hand what you love
And can count on who you love to help
you on your long way down

Chorus:
Well you end up counting airplanes
Trying to keep up with these changes
I don't wanna be with anybody else
So don't try to figure me out
I won't try to figure you out
I don't wanna be some average anybody

Yeah Heah

I don't wanna be with anybody else
When you're up between the new sky line
The city lights and the warm sunshine

It's a long way down - x3
