capø: 2
key: C#m
Intro:
N.C.
There was a wonderful structure to the city
Bm F#m Bm F#m
And it put my cares to rest
Verse 1:
Bm
Taking inventory of his life
Bm
Seeing snapshots chronologically inline
F#m
Something told him he should look around and tidy up
F#m
He collected many things but never quite enough
Bm
Tried looking at it from a new perspective
Bm
Flat on his back but he still heard the directive
F#m
Orders from that corner where that shadow always lived
F#m
Never asked permission, he just hopes that they forgive
Chorus:
D
I don't want to go like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Bm
At least let me clean my room
F#m
I don't want to leave like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
E
'Cause the last thing I want to do is
D Bm
Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
A
Should they keep it on display
N.C.
Or redecorate?
Verse 2:
Bm
Blankets over mirrors, she tends to like it
Bm
She's not afraid of her reflection
But of what she might see behind it
F#m
She had plans to change her name, yeah
F#m
Just not the traditional way, yeah
Bm
Haunted by a couple big mistakes
Bm
She covers all the dents with the way she decorates
F#m
Then one night she got cold with no blankets on her bed
F#m
So she ripped them off the mirror, stepped back and she said
Chorus:
D
I don't want to go like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Bm
At least let me clean my room
F#m
I don't want to leave like this (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
E
'Cause the last thing I want to do is
D Bm
Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
A
Should they keep it on display
N.C.
Or redecorate?
Instrumental:
F#m Bm F#m Bm
Bridge:
F#m
With the bells and the whistles scaled back
Bm
Like an isolated track
And he feels trapped when he's not inebriated
F#m
Fair to say he's fairly sedated most days of the week
Bm
He might have made it if he lived on a different street
F#m
I repeat, scaled back and isolated
Bm
He says he likes an open schedule, but he mostly hates it
F#m Bm
If you're running to his room, take a breath before you break-in
F#m Bm
Put your ear up to the door, tell me can you hear him saying?
Chorus:
D
I don't want to go like this
Bm
At least let me clean my room
F#m
I don't want to leave like this
E
'Cause the last thing I want to do is
D Bm
Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
A
Should they keep it on display
N.C.
Or redecorate?
D
I don't want to go like this (Go like this)
Bm
At least let me clean my room (Clean my room)
F#m
I don't want to leave like this (Leave like this)
E
'Cause the last thing I want to do is (To do is)
D Bm
Make my people make decisions, wondering what to do, oh
A
Should they keep it on display (On display)
N.C.
Or redecorate?

Oh-oh-oh-oh
F#m E
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Or redecorate?
D Bm
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh
