[C] [G] I hear you [Am] knocking on the door
[G] You ain't [C] never coming in, no, [G] no, to this [Am] house no more
[G]
[C] See, it ain't like, [G] it ain't [Am] like it was before

[F] I turned the [C] key to [G] twist the knife
[B] I can't [A] wait, no, [F] I can't wait
[C] Now you're [Em] knocking on the door but you [Am] can't come in
Oh, no, [G] so [C] you're drinking on the tin
[G] Yeah, you're [Am] taking on your weed chin
[C] Then you do it all again and again, [G] tell me, [A] where will it end?
[G] And [C] now you're crawling down the aisle
[D] Yeah, you're [Am] crawling down the aisle
With your [C] head held high and your boogaloo [Em] eyes and the [A] world outside
[G] I [C] just don't [G] know, honey, [B] what went [Am] wrong
[Dm]
[C] Love just can't grow when you're [Am] gone so long

Oh, no, [C]
[G] you [Am] just don't know
[G]
[C] Which way the wind [G] is gonna [Am] blow
[C] Oh, [G] you [Am] just don't know
[G]
[C] Just when the sky [G] is [Am] gonna fall
[G] You've [Am] been a soldier, [Em] you've been a [Am] privateer
[Em] Now you're [C] looking much older
[Em] Yes, you are, my [C] dear
[G] Now you're [Am] back again, [G] for a [Am] life instead
Got [Bm] a [C] pleasure inside, got worms in pain
[G]
[F] I turned the key [G] to twist the [B] knife
I can't wait, [Am] [F] no, I can't wait
[Em] Now you're knocking on the door but you can't come [Am] in
Oh, no, [F]
