[Eb] [D] [Eb]
[G] [Eb] [G]
[D] [B]
Lonely in my [D] cave, [G] cornflakes and [A] camels in the long, [Bm] restless shadows [C] of my life.
[D]
[Em] None but the brave, [D] skipping [G] and jacking, [A] yonds, channel [Bm] hopping these empty [C] days and [D] nights.
[E]
Good to my screen, [D] [G] rerun by [A] rerun, in the dark, [Gb] out of limits [Dm] of my soul.
[D] [A]
[G] Stranded between [A] the green echoes of [G] my good intentions, [B] in the twilight zone [Dm] of zero self-control.
[Gb] So come on, [Dbm] angel, tune in on [Gbm] me, [Dbm] see your faithful [Bm] servant [A] lost in misery.
[E] All of your hard work, [Gbm] coming down to no [Bm] good, [D] you better see about [Fm] me, babe.
[G] If you only [Eb] could now, [F] girlfriend, [C] if it can't be you, [Cm] I don't even [F] have [Cm] anyone to tell my [Dm] story to.
[Ab] I said [Gm] girlfriend, [Fm] if it [Eb] can't be you, girlfriend, [G] [C] if it can't be you, [A] I don't even have anyone [Cm] to tell my [Dm] story to.
[Eb] I said [Gm] girlfriend, [Fm] if it [Eb] can't be you, dust [Bm] and despair, [D] got wealth [G] and confusion, [A] collected [Bm] in the corners [A] of my room.
[Dm]
[E] All [G] of my dreams, bitter illusions, [A] [B] I just can't be rid of them too [G] soon.
[A]
Tired [G] of my friends, tired [Em] of this, [A] babe, it's too tight to get [Dm] up and shut it all.
[A]
Time [G] that remains, [D] what good [G] could it do [A] me, now that [Bm] I know that too much [C] is not enough.
[D]
[Gb] Wait a minute, [Dbm] baby, what about my [A] heart?
[Dbm] Was it your idea [A] to take it all apart, put it all [F] back together, [Gbm] just one piece at [Bm] a time?
[D] Now I stand to you, [Fm] darling, [G] and that's why [Eb] I'm all [C] girlfriend.
If it can't be you, [Cm] I don't even [F] have [Cm] anyone to tell my [Dm] story to.
[Ab] I said [Gm] girlfriend, [Fm] if it [Eb] can't be you, girlfriend, [Bb] if it [G] can't be you, [A] I don't even have [Cm] anyone to tell my story to.
[Eb] I said [Gm] girlfriend, [Fm] if it [Cm] can't be you, [Dm] well I'm pulling up, [Bb] fixing up, I'm off of my [B] back pages.
All at [Bb] once, I'm privy to the [C] entire grim design [Dm] of a great [Bb] civilized nation in the terminal [Dm] stages of a slow [Bb] but steady mental, [C] moral, spiritual [G] decline.
And so it goes, the bus it is ridden, [Eb] and all I want to know, [F] where's a guy like [Dm] me in bed?
[Bb] [C]
[Dm] [Bb] [D]
[Dm] So I'm visualizing a [C] cute little [B] bunny, fluffy [Bb] white tail and [C] long gray [Dm] floppy ears.
Looks up at me and says, Doc, don't you worry, all you [C] got to do now, boy, is [G] hide in here.
[Gm] Hide here. Hide here.
[G] [Gm] [Eb]
[Bb] All [C] you got to do now, [G] girl, is to just say when, might [Gm] consider bringing your [C] sweetness round here [Eb] again.
I said [C] girlfriend, if it can't be you, [Cm] I don't even have anyone to tell [Bb] my story to.
[Ab] I said [Gm] girlfriend, [Fm] if it [Eb] can't be you, girlfriend, [C] if it can't be you, [Cm] I don't [G] even have [Cm] anyone to tell [Gm] my story to.
[Ab] I said [Gm] girlfriend, if it [Eb] can't be you, [F] girlfriend, [Bb] if it can't be you, [Cm] I don't [D] even have [Cm] [Dm]
