My Monkey by Jonathan Coulton
My Monkey
Capo:no capo
E B7 C#m A
My monkey gets busy sometimes
E B7 C#m A E
My monkey's got a lot of stuff he's gotta think about
B7 C#m A
My monkey gets tired sometimes
E B7 C#m A Amaj7
My monkey wishes he was something you could live without
B7
Cause every monkey needs alone time
Amaj7 B7
To eat bananas in the sunshine
Amaj7 B7
It's feast or famine, it's a fine line
Amaj7 B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you
E B7 C#m A
My monkey gets frazzled sometimes
E B7 C#m A E
My monkey has an ulcer and a stressful time at work
B7 C#m A
My monkey gets bitter sometimes
E B7 C#m A Amaj7
My monkey's not the only one who's acting like a jerk
B7
And while he doesn't like to name names
Amaj7 B7
And he's not trying to assign blame
Amaj7 B7
It's hard to focus on his own game
Amaj7 B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you
E B7 C#m A
My monkey gets angry sometimes
E B7 C#m A E
My monkey says a lot of things he doesn't really mean
B7 C#m A
My monkey gets lucky sometimes
E B7 C#m A
Amaj7
My monkey thinks that you're the bestest girl he's ever seen
Amaj7 B7
He says he'll stay with you for always
Amaj7 B7
It doesn't matter what the job pays
Amaj7 B7
Cause everybody has their bad days
Amaj7 B7
It doesn't mean my monkey doesn't love you
