intro : C / Cmaj7 / Am / G / F / G / C G / (2x)
CCmaj7Am
There's someone at my frontdoor
GFGCG
and he's raising his voice: is there anybody home?
CCmaj7Am
Now there's a question I like,
GFGCG
kept me up and I have been thinking all night long.
FGCC7
Summertime gonna cut my hair now,
FGCC7
and ask a friend to die it red.
FGCC7
Spent my days watching girls in the park;
F G C*
I'm just trying to fill my head.

CCmaj7Am
Yes I hate to admit
GFGCG
but I miss you like hell miss you every day.
CCmaj7Am
And yes I hate to be asked
GFGCG
cause everytime they do I don't know what to say
FGCC7
I need someone to come and save me,
FGCC7
when I'm wrapped up in my world.
FGCC7
Need someone to poke a finger
FGA
in the places where it hurts.
G? (not to sure about this one) D
Baby it's driving me mad I need your warm hands back on my head,
EGD
hear you say: it's alright alright
(let's rock) A / A / A ...
CCmaj7Am
I felt myself slipping back
GFGCG
I could feel the old man grab me by the throat.
CCmaj7Am
He slowly squeezed out the air
GFGCG
made me look like a fool, chokin' every word
FGCC7
I know tonight I lost the fight,
FGCC7
pulled the blankets way over my head.
FGCC7
Had the old man stand guard at the door,
FGA
checked for ghosts under my bed,
G? D
baby it's driving me mad and I don't think I can take it anymore.
EGD
Hey old man can we cease the war.
EGD
Hey old man can we cease the war.
