Something important

A song I came across in Gilles Peterson's compilation album Brownwood Bubblers no.3
The guitar sounds were nice but I think the lyrics are even better... kinda hits you in a strange way

Anyhow here is the lyrics and the guitar chords to the song...

Something important

Capo on1st fret

Em7 F#m(7) Bm

Oh~~~
Sometimes when I am doing something I really enjoy
A friend knocks the door so I let her in
She asks me,
what are you up to?
And I say, I don’t know… nothing much
Maybe I’ll have a few books open looking at pages I like to see
Or I’m listening to music
Probably the telly’s on
And before she asked me what I was doing, I felt like I was really doing something
Only now I am not so sure

Em7_________F#m
All the mountains high
______Bm_________Em7
And the streams running high
__________F#m___Bm
They don’t ask why, why do I
________Em7
Something doesn’t make
________F#m________Bm
Everytime I ask myself why
____Em7
Why I do that thing
______________F#m____________Bm
Shouldn’t I be doing something important

Maybe I’m doing nothing, just running through a film in my mind
Or listening to cars outside on the street
Then there will be a voice in my head
The voice comes and she said
Shouldn’t you be doing something important
Cuz look at you sitting through time and time running through you
And away with you
and what have you got to show for your time
I don’t know…
All I know is I didn’t worry about showing anything for my time
Before I asked that question why

__________Em7
Cuz something doesn’t make
________F#m________Bm
Everytime I ask myself why
____Em7
Why I do that thing
_____________F#m____________Bm
Shouldn’t I be doing something important

Em7_________F#m
All the mountains high
______Bm_________Em7
And the streams running high
__________F#m___Bm
They don’t ask why, why do I
