E             D                  G       B
Stuck in the shade where there's no sunshine
E             D                     G          B
I don't wanna play with them other kids in the sun


Pre-Chorus 1: 

                   E   D            G         B
Since you left me, babe it's been a long way down

Yeah, you left me, babe it's been a long way down


Chorus 1:

E             D                  G       B
What you don't know won't hurt you, yeah ignorance is bliss
E    D     G       B
I'm a happy idiot waving at cars
E         D                  G             B
I'm gonna bang my head to the wall 'till I feel like nothing at all

I'm a happy idiot to keep my mind off you

E          D             G       B
Stuck in a daze and I've lost my mind

I don't wanna stay where the blame's all mine

                   E   D            G         B

Yeah, you left me, babe it's been a long way down
