Intro: G5

G5
Well, I didn't know it would come to this
G5
But that's what happens when you're on your own
            A5             C5                G5
And you're alright letting nice things go

G5
Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
G5
Gold and made of flowers dangling
       A5     C5                    G5     
And I almost cried as I sold them all
G5                                E5
I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no
       G5               E5
But I gotta get to and from where I come
         A5                  C5
And it's gonna take money to go
   G5      D5     A5     C5    G5
Oh no, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, 

G5 
In the name of higher consciousness
          E5              
I let the best man I knew go
            G5                   E5
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
                   A5               C5
But it's better to know all you can know
            G5                   E5
I said it's nice to love and be loved
               A5            C5
But I'd rather know what God knows
  G5      D5     A5      C5       G5
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no,

D5     E5      C5    G5
I can do this once more
E5          C5
No man can keep me together
       G5        C5          D5
Been broken since I was born

      G5
Well, I didn't know it would come to this

But that's what happens when you're on your own
           A5               C5              G5
And you're alright letting nice things go
