I've got no energy

Tell me all about your day


D#m		C#
Breaking off is misery

I see a wilderness for you and me

I?m wondering how things could've been

I counted on your company

I'm feeling sorry for myself
          A#m	C#
I keep taking everything to be to be a sign

I'm happy for you

Now I know this hurt is poison

Too sharp to be bled
A#m		G#m
I'm sitting on my empty bed

On my empty bed

At night the fever grows it's pounding pounding

I'd rather be in Tokyo

Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh

Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku

There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

Scary moment, lovin' every moment
     A#m			G#m
I was high from playing shows

We lost a singer to her clothes

My trouble raised its ugly head

I was revealed
	B
And I was home in bed
A#m	C#
I was a kid again


F#		B
Jesus told me, go after every coin
	A#m		 G#m
Like it was the last in the world
	A#m		G#m
And protect the wayward child

But I'm a little lost sheep

I need my Bo peep
  		A#m		C#
I know I need my Shepherd here tonight


D#m		C#
Breaking off is misery
	B	     F#
I see a wilderness for you and me

And a wondering how things could've been


Middle 8:  B  G#  C#  A#  D#m__ G#

F#
I?d like to see you
B
But really I should stay away
   A#m		G#m
And let you settle down

I've got no claims to your crown

I was the boss of you

And I loved you
        A#m
You know I loved you
C#
It's all over now


F#		B
I was there for you
When you were lonely

I was there when you were bad
	A#m
Now it's my time of need
	   B		A#m	C#
I?m thinking, do I have to plead to get you by my side?

I'd rather be in Tokyo

Id rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh

Watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku

There's something wrong with me, I'm a cuckoo

    Very good! The part on the third string on the intro sounds a little wonky, but otherwise it sounds great!
