F F           G G               C C     F F  C C  
It's the perfect time of year
F F G G C C F F C C
Somewhere far away from here
F F G G C C F F C C
I feel fine enough, I guess
F F G G C C F F C C
Considering everything's a mess
F F G G C C F F C C
There's a restaurant down the street
F F G G C C F F C C
Where hungry people like to eat
F F G G C C F F C C
I could walk but I'll just drive
D D F F G G
It's colder than it looks out side.

C C G G
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
F F D D
Then ya' try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
C C G G F F G G
When you try to see the world Beyond your front door
C C G G
Take your time, is the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
F F D D
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
C C G G F F
Just try to figure out what all this is for?

F F G G C C F F C C
It's the perfect time of day
F F G G C C F F C C
To throw all your cares away
F F G G C C F F C C
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
F F G G C C F F C C
And run through with my gym shorts on.
F F G G C C F F C C
Take a drink right from the hose
F F G G C C F F C C
And change into some drier clothes
F F G G C C F F C C
Climb the stairs up to my room
D D F F G G
Sleep away the afternoon.

C C G G
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
F F D D
Then ya' try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
C C G G F F G G
When you try to see the world Beyond your front door
C C G G
Take your time, is the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
F F D D
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
C C G G F F
Just try to figure out what all this is for?

G G Am Am G G F F G G Am Am G G F F
Pinch me, pinch me, cause I'm still asleep
G G Am Am G G F F G G Am Am G G
Please God tell me that I'm still asleep

F F G G C C F F C C
On an evening such as this
F F G G C C F F C C
It's hard to tell if I exist
F F G G C C F F C C
Packed a car and leave this town
F F G G C C F F C C
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
F F G G C C F F C C
I could hide out under there
F F G G C C F F C C
I just made you say 'underwear'
F F G G C C F F C C
I could leave but I'll just stay
D D F F G G
All my stuff's here anyway.

C C G G
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
F F D D
Then ya' try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
C C G G F F G G
When you try to see the world Beyond your front door
C C G G
Take your time, is the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
F F D D
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
C C G G F F
Just try to figure out what all this is for?
C C G G F F G G
Try to figure out what all this is for
C C G G F F G G
Try to see the world beyond your front door
C C G G F F C C
Try to figure out what all this is for

About this song: Pinch Me

According to the Pinch Me Songfacts, frontman Ed Robertson wrote this song following the success of the album Stunt, after seeing that people in their native Canada were unaware of the band's success. The lyrics themselves describe a situation where things are going pretty well in your life, and you feel fine, but you know that things could be better.
