F#
I'm glad to see you
B
I had a funny dream
Bbm Abm
You were wearing funny shoes
Bbm Abm
You were going to a dance
Bbm B Bbm C# C#sus4 C#
You were dressed like a punk but you were too young to remember
F#
Glad to see you
B
I'm outside the house
Bbm Abm
I'm not thinking right today
Bbm Abm
I've got no energy
Bbm B Bbm
I'm glad that you were waiting with me
C#
Tell me all about your day
Ebm C#
Breaking off is misery
B F#
I see a wilderness for you and me
B Bbm
Punctuated by philosophy
C# B
I’m wondering how things could've been
F#
I'm happy for you
B
You've made it hard for me
Bbm Abm
I counted on your company
Bbm Abm
You were staying with your friends tonight
Bbm B
I'm feeling sorry for myself
Bbm C#
I keep taking everything to be to be a sign
F#
I'm happy for you
B
Now I know this hurt is poison
Bbm Abm
Too sharp to be bled
Bbm Abm
I'm sitting on my empty bed
Bbm
On my empty bed
B Bbm C#
At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding
Ebm C#
I'd rather be in Tokyo
B F#
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
B Bbm
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
C# B F#
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
F# B F# B F# C# B
x 2
F# B
Scary moment, lovin' every moment
Bbm Abm
I was high from playing shows
Bbm Abm
We lost a singer to her clothes
Bbm Abm
My trouble raised its ugly head
Bbm
I was revealed
B
And I was home in bed
Bbm C#
I was a kid again
F# B
Jesus told me, go after every coin
Bbm Abm
Like it was the last in the world
Bbm Abm
And protect the wayward child
Bbm
But I'm a little lost sheep
B
I need my Bo peep
Bbm C#
I know I need my Shepherd here tonight
Ebm C#
Breaking off is misery
B F#
I see a wilderness for you and me
B Bbm
Punctuated by philosophy
C# B F#
And a wondering how things could've been
Middle 8: B Ab C# Bb Ebm__ Ab
C#
F#
I’d like to see you
B
But really I should stay away
Bbm Abm
And let you settle down
Bbm Abm
I've got no claims to your crown
Bbm
I was the boss of you
B
And I loved you
Bbm
You know I loved you
C#
It's all over now
F# B
I was there for you
When you were lonely
Bbm Abm
I was there when you were sad
Bbm Abm
I was there when you were bad
Bbm
Now it's my time of need
B Bbm C#
I’m thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?
Ebm C#
I'd rather be in Tokyo
B F#
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
B Bbm
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
C# B
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
