G5
I'm glad to see you
C5
I had a funny dream
        B5         A5
You were wearing funny shoes
        B5         A5
You were going to a dance
        B5                              C5      B5     D5
You were dressed like a punk but you were too young to remember


G5
Glad to see you
C5
I'm outside the house
        B5            A5
I'm not thinking right today
     B5       A5
I've got no energy
        B5         C5          B5
I'm glad that you were waiting with me
D5
Tell me all about your day


E5              D5
Breaking off is misery
        C5            G5
I see a wilderness for you and me
     C5          B5
Punctuated by philosophy
       D5                                  C5
I?m wondering how things could've been


G5
I'm happy for you
C5
You've made it hard for me
        B5           A5
I counted on your company
        B5              A5
You were staying with your friends tonight
        B5         C5
I'm feeling sorry for myself
          B5    D5
I keep taking everything to be to be a sign


G5
I'm happy for you
C5
Now I know this hurt is poison
B5            A5
Too sharp to be bled
B5              A5
I'm sitting on my empty bed
        B5
On my empty bed
   C5       B5  D5
At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding


E5             D5
I'd rather be in Tokyo
        C5          G5
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
        C5               B5
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
        D5               C5              G5
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

G5            C5
Scary moment, lovin' every moment
     B5                 A5
I was high from playing shows
        B5              A5
We lost a singer to her clothes
    B5                  A5
My trouble raised its ugly head
        B5
I was revealed
        C5
And I was home in bed
B5      D5
I was a kid again


G5               C5
Jesus told me, go after every coin
        B5               A5
Like it was the last in the world
        B5              A5
And protect the wayward child
        B5
But I'm a little lost sheep
        C5
I need my Bo peep
                B5              D5
I know I need my Shepherd here tonight


E5              D5
Breaking off is misery
        C5            G5
I see a wilderness for you and me
     C5          B5
Punctuated by philosophy
        D5               C5         G5
Im wondering how things could've been


Middle 8:  C5  A5  D5  B5  Em__ A5  D5


C5
I?d like to see you
C5
But really I should stay away
   B5           A5
And let you settle down
        B5              A5
I've got no claims to your crown
        B5
I was the boss of you
        C5
And I loved you
        B5
You know I loved you
D5
It's all over now


G5               C5
I was there for you
When you were lonely
        B5              A5
I was there when you were bad
        B5              A5
I was there when you were sad
        B5
Now it's my time of need
           C5            B5     D5
I?m thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?


E5              D5
I'd rather be in Tokyo
        C5          G5
Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
        C5               B5
Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
        D5               C5
There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
