INTRO : F# - B - F# - B - F# - C# - B
[Verse] F# I'm glad to see you B I had a funny dream Bbm Abm And you were wearing funny shoes Bbm Abm You were going to a dance Bbm You were dressed like a punk but you are B Bbm C# C#sus4 C# Too young to remember VERSE chords : Glad to see you I'm outside the house I'm not thinking right today I've got no energy I'm glad that you are waiting with me Tell me all about your day
[Chorus] Ebm C# Breaking off is misery B F# I see a wilderness for you and me B Bbm Punctuated by philosophy C# B And wondering how things could've been VERSE chords : I'm happy for you You've made it hard for me I counted on your company You are staying with your friends tonight I'm feeling sorry for myself I keep taking everything to be a sign VERSE chords : I'm happy for you Now I know this hurt is poison Too sharp to be bled I'm sitting on my empty bed On my empty bed At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding CHORUS chords : I'd rather be in Tokyo I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo
[Intro] VERSE chords : Scary moment, lovin' every moment I was high from playing shows We lost a singer to her clothes My trouble raised its ugly head I was revealed And I was home in bed I was a kid again VERSE chords : Jesus told me, go after every coin Like it was the last in the world And protect the wayward child But I'm a little lost sheep I need my Bo Peep I know I need My Shepherd here tonight (play CHORUS 1 again) trumpet solo over : F# B Ab C# Bb Ebm Ebm Ab C# VERSE chords : I'd like to see you But really I should stay away And let you settle down I've got no claims to your crown I was the boss of you And I loved you You know I loved you It's all over now VERSE chords : And I was there for you When you were lonely I was there when you were bad I was there when you were sad Now it's my time of need I'm thinking, do I have to plead To get you by my side? (play CHORUS 2 again)
