(Refrain)
Em           G             Am
Buddy friend buddy, you're gonna be proud
  C       Em     D
I finally got my head into the clouds

(Verse I)
  Em       G             Am
I might be weary but I'm seeing pretty clear
     C             Em             D
I'll have a little nap and when I wake up next year
    Em        G             Am
I'm gonna get started on my master plan
   C              Em            D
To get out of the fake world as fast as I can
     Em           G              Am
I'll listen to my stomach I'll react to the sky but I
C             Em          D
Don't want to answer to a manager on high
(Bridge I:)
    Em
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done
Am
I'm finally done
     C             Em                  D
I've lost a lot of weight my shoulders used to weigh a tonne
    Em
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done

(Bridge II:)
    Am             C          Em           D
I'm finally done.  No more 6 AM alarms for this person

[Chorus I (same words as refrain, but melody and chords are different in 
right here:)]
   D             C
...head into the clouds

(Chorus II:)
     G  B         Em         C        G      B        Em
When Isabelle who builds the boat and I were hitching rides
C    G        B         Em        C                 D
  We found ourselves in Dartmouth with Tim's on our minds
B             Em              C               G    D
  With coffee keeping us from sleeping at the Esso door
B                Em          C             G     D
  We watched the city on the hill upon the other shore
B                Em                C            G        D
  With righteous guardsmen keeping us out after witching hour
B                  Em               C                      D
  We crept through windows sneaking past the mighty island power
(Verse II:)
Em         G            Am
Uncle dear uncle you're gonna be sad 
    C          Em           D
For all of the hopes you've pinned to this lad 
Em     G               Am                    C       Em         D
Now it seems that I've thrown it all away to go on a bottomless holiday
         Em       G              Am
But it's not like that I'll find something to do
       C    Em         D
'Cause if I don't I'll be as bored as you
Em             G        Am            C     Em         D
And what's the point of going away if I can be just as bored as if I stay
(to Bridge I, then to Bridge III:)
    Am                    C         Em             D
And now I'm gonna start a brand new page with some passion in my heart

(To Chorus I, then Chorus II, then Refrain, then)
(Verse III:)
Em           G           Am
Buddy friend buddy we're of the same mind 
  C            Em        D
Embarrassed to leave the daily grind
    Em         G       Am              C     Em     D
But there will come my funeral day and in my coffin I'll be laid
Em       G     Am                    C         Em      D
Pictures of me on display but you're not gonna view my resume

(To Bridge I, then)
(Finale)
      Am             B
I'm finally done I'm finally done
