[Verse 1]
 
D5                     D5
Something stopped me - dead in my tracks
      A5                      G5
I was headed for disaster and then I turned back
      D5                                D5
I was wrestling with a coat hanger, can you guess who won?
    A5                 G5
The universe shrugged, shrugged then moved on
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
      D          D
It's a guess, no idea
       Am    G
It's a fe---eling
     D           D
Not a voice in my head
       Am    G
Just a fe---eling
 
[Chorus]
 
           D    D
And by the way
      Am           G           D    D
Spike Island come alive by the way
     Am               G        D*
This time I'll get it right, oh

[Verse 2]
 
      D                               D
Not a shaman, or a showman, ashamed I was selling the rights
         Am                           G
I took a breather, and decided not to ruin my life
         D                           D
I was conforming to a cosmic design, I was playing to type
        Am                           G
Until I walked back to the gardеn of earthly delights
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
      D          D
I was born to perform
       Am    G
It's a ca---lling
   D          D
I еxist to do this
             Am     D
Shouting and po---inting
 
[Chorus]
 
           D        D
And by the way (oh!)
      Am           G           D        D
Spike Island come alive by the way - uh!
     Am               G        D
This time I'll get it right, oh
 
[Bridge]
 
|(D)     |D      |Am/D    |G/D
 
D               D
   No-one will ever understand it
Am/D                                G/D
 And no-one will ever have the last word
                 D                           D
Because it's not something you could ever say
    Am/D    G/D
So swivel - aaah!
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
       D          D
It's a guess, no idea
       Am    G
It's a fe---eling
     D           D
Not a voice in my head
       Am    G
Just a fe---eling
 
[Chorus]
 
           D        D
And by the way - oh!
      Am           G           D    D
Spike Island come alive by the way
     Am               G
This time I'll get it right
               D        D
Oh, and by the way - oh!
      Am           G           D        D
Spike Island come alive by the way - uh!
     Am               G
This time I'll get it right, oooh
