C
I'm glad to see you
F
I had a funny dream
        Em         Dm
You were wearing funny shoes
        Em         Dm
You were going to a dance
        Em                              F      Em     G
You were dressed like a punk but you were too young to remember

C
Glad to see you
F
I'm outside the house
        Em            Dm
I'm not thinking right today
     Em       Dm
I've got no energy
        Em         F          Em
I'm glad that you were waiting with me
G
Tell me all about your day

Am              G
Breaking off is misery
        F            C
I see a wilderness for you and me
     F          Em
Punctuated by philosophy
       G                                  F
I'm wondering how things could've been

C
I'm happy for you
F
You've made it hard for me
        Em           Dm
I counted on your company
        Em              Dm
You were staying with your friends tonight
        Em         F
I'm feeling sorry for myself
          Em    G
I keep taking everything to be to be a sign

C
I'm happy for you
F
Now I know this hurt is poison
Em            Dm
Too sharp to be bled
Em              Dm
I'm sitting on my empty bed
        Em
On my empty bed
   F       Em  G
At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding

Am             G
I'd rather be in Tokyo
        F          C
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
        F               Em
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
        G               F              C
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

C F C F C G F C x 2

C            F
Scary moment, lovin' every moment
     Em                 Dm
I was high from playing shows
        Em              Dm
We lost a singer to her clothes
    Em                  Dm
My trouble raised its ugly head
        Em
I was revealed
        F
And I was home in bed
Em      G
I was a kid again

C               F
Jesus told me, go after every coin
        Em               Dm
Like it was the last in the world
        Em              Dm
And protect the wayward child
        Em
But I'm a little lost sheep
        F
I need my Bo peep
                Em              G
I know I need my Shepherd here tonight

Am              G
Breaking off is misery
        F            C
I see a wilderness for you and me
     F          Em
Punctuated by philosophy
        G               F         C
Im wondering how things could've been

Middle 8:  F  D  G  E  Am__ D  G

F
I'd like to see you
F
But really I should stay away
   Em           Dm
And let you settle down
        Em              Dm
I've got no claims to your crown
        Em
I was the boss of you
        F
And I loved you
        Em
You know I loved you
G
It's all over now

C               F
I was there for you
When you were lonely
        Em              Dm
I was there when you were bad
        Em              Dm
I was there when you were sad
        Em
Now it's my time of need
           F            Em     G
I'm thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?

Am              G
I'd rather be in Tokyo
        F          C
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
        F               Em
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
        G               F
