 VERSE 1
   G#m                  F#            
 Before you know what's wrong with you
           A                 E           
 Feel that monkey is sitting on your back
 G#m                  F#          
 That's when you must realise that
     A                          E   
 For you it's too late to crawl back
 
        B            G#m      
 That's when you must perceive
      F#             A           B     
 Your world is built out of make belief
              B               G#m             
 That's when you wanna go but just can't leave
            F#               A             B     
 That's when you even need a shot to get a breeze

 That's when your bed is gonna be your day
              F#                                        
 And when you ain't got it you can't even move your head
             A                                
 That's when everything you touch seems unreal
         E                                    
 And you don't even know how and what you feel
         E                               
 Well if that's the way you want it to be
     F#                                 
 You better don't come to see me no more
         A                           E                     
 I don't wanna be around to see your world is tumbling down
 
 VERSE 2
     G#m                  F#                 
 I'd like to keep my feet right on the ground
        A               E          
 That's why I don't want you around
     G#m                  F#  
 The way you put yourself down
         A                  E 
 don't appeal too much to me
 
   B                 G#m        
 I tried to show you the way out
               F#               
 You're on the leave, aren't you
   A                         B  
 I thought you were some way out
        B                    G#m          
 Well I think I've done everything I could
   F#             A              B         
 I even loved you when it didn't go no good

 G#m                   F#        
 Don't you tell me you love me so
         A                 E           
 I don't care a damn and I already know
 G#m                         F#           
 Don't you think that I feel sorry for you
     A                             E          
 And don't think about it if that's new to you
 
     B                 G#m            
 And I don't care what you're gonna do
              F#                 
 Maybe you discover something new
     A                      B    
 And that makes me feel all right
    B                          G#m    
 So please girl, why don't you go away
          F#                   A   
 leave me alone, I still got a home
                        B              
 That's where I'm gonna stay, stay home
