 VERSE 1:
E5         B5   C#5      Ab5      A5    B5     E5
  With a foot out the door, and one in my way
          B5  C#5    Ab5        A5    B5      E5
  You're leaving me home for another work day
       B5  C#5    Ab5             A5     B5     E5
  I'd follow you out, but you'd keep me in, so
       B5   C#5      Ab5           A5           B5
  I'm watching you leave with my nose on the window



VERSE 2:
E5              B5 C#5     Ab5    A5  B5
  I could just sleep all day
            E5        B5 C#5     Ab5        A5    B5
  Just to stay up at night and keep you awake
E5            B5 C#5    Ab5    A5  B5
  If I could speak my mind
          E5       B5 C#5    Ab5        A5  B5
  I'd go out on a limb and say with a sigh



 PRE-CHORUS 1:
C5           C#5 *
  I'm the only one
       D5                             F#5
  Who sees you when you think you're by yourself



  CHORUS 1:
                      E5     B5  C#5    
  If I'm too much to carry
Ab5     A5    B5      E5      B5  C#5    
  Just put me down gently
Ab5       A5   B5       E5     B5  C#5    
  If I'm too much to carry
Ab5     A5    B5      E5      B5  C#5   Ab5   A5  B5
  Just put me down gently



 VERSE 3:
E5       B5   C#5     Ab5        A5  B5        E5
  I've been your pillow for an after-work nap
       B5   C#5   Ab5        A5   B5       E5
  And how many shrinks curl up in your lap?
    B5     C#5      Ab5     A5    B5
  Friends come and go but I'm still here



 PRE-CHORUS 2:
   F#5
  Have you forgotten me?
                  Ab5
  My curiosity's killing me

 (Eight left to go...)



  CHORUS 2:
                      E5     B5  C#5    
  If I'm too much to carry
Ab5     A5    B5      E5      B5  C#5    
  Just put me down gently
Ab5       A5   B5       E5     B5  C#5    
  If I'm too much to carry
Ab5     A5    B5      E5      B5  C#5   Ab5   G5  Bb5  C#5
  Just put me down gently



 BRIDGE:
         Eb5     Ab5
  Don't worry at all for me
      E?7 Eb5 Ab5
  I've always landed on my feet
     Ab5                       C#5   B5     F#5
  So if you're gone, at least leave the TV on
  A5   F#5
  Re-runs

  Just to stay up at night and keep you awake
E5            B5 C#5    Ab5    A5  B5
  If I could speak my mind
          E5       B5 C#5    Ab5        A5  B5
  I'd go out on a limb and say with a sigh
