[Verse]
F                       C                    Am
I jump from thought to thought like a flea jumps to a light
G                                                          F
You could give an aspirin the headache of its life
C                                       F
Maybe it’s the crazy that I miss

F                                       C                                                          Am
Watering plastic plants in the hope that they will grow
G                                                                             F
Seeing a message flash and then smashing up my phone
C                                                          F
Maybe it’s the crazy that I miss
N.C.
It won’t get better than this

[Chorus]

I like the way your brain works
Am
I like the way you try
G                                                          F
To run with the wolf pack when your legs are tired

I like the way you turn

I like the way your brain works

[Verse 2]
F                                       C                    Am
I want to get college girl drunk tonight
G
No morning fears
G                    F
No mountains to climb
C                                                          Dm
They say the best memories are the ones that we forget
C    F
Like
C                                                                             Am
Listening to Drake at your best friends swimming pool
G                                                          F
Floating anti-clockwise in a red mushroom
C                                       Am
Maybe it’s the crazy that I miss
N.C.
It won’t get better than this

[Chorus]
F                                       C
I like the way your brain works
Am
I like the way you try
G                                                                             F
To run with the wolf pack when your legs are tired

I like the way you turn me inside and out
G
I like the way you turn

I like the way your brain works
G                    C                    F
I like the way your brain works

[Outro]

Baby it’s the crazy I like
Dm                                       C                    F
I think I saw the world turn in your eyes
C                    Dm
Baby it’s the crazy I like

F                                       C
Maybe it’s the bullshit I miss
Dm                                       C                    F
Screaming at the moon in black lipstick
C                                       Am
Maybe it’s the bullshit I miss
G
It won’t get better than this

How to play Turn: key, chords and progression

Turn by The Wombats keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 5 chords: F, C, Am, G and Dm.

The backbone of the song is F – C – Am – G (IV – I – vi – V in C major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – lah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes C, G, Em, D, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 80% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
