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

BRIDGE
       E
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

VERSE 3
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
