When I signed my (Bm7)deal, I I na felt it (A)pres sure.

You say, “Could (Bm7)you write a song for (A)me?” ’Cause I say, “I’m (Gmaj7)sor ry I won’t do that hap pi ly.” When I go (G)home,

I tend to close the (D)door.

I nev er want ed (G)more,

so sing with (D)me.

Can’t you see?

I don’t have (Bm)mon ey on my mind, (A)mon ey on my mind.

I (Gmaj7)do it for, I do it for the love.

I don’t have (Bm)mon ey on my mind, (A)mon ey on my mind.

I (Gmaj7)do it for, I do it for the love.

I do it for the (Bm)love.

’Cause I’m not a (Gmaj7)pup pet I will work a gainst your strings.

When I go (G)home,
