Lyrics

(Bbm)What have I (Bbsus)done?

(Bbm)What have I (Bbsus)done?

(Bbm)How could (Ab)I (Bbm)be so (Ab)blind?

(Em)All is (Csus)lost.

(Em)Where was (Fm)I?

(Bbm)Spoiled (Fm)all, (Bbm)spoiled (Fm)all, (Gb)ev ’ry (Fm)thing’s (Gb)gone all (F)wrong.

(Bbm)What have I (Bbsus)done?

(Bbm)What have I (Ebm)done?

(Bbm)Find a deep (Bbdim)cave to hide (Adim)in.

(Bbm)In a (Dbm)mil lion (Gb)years they’ll (Adim)find me, (Gm)on ly dust (Ebdim7)and a (D)plaque (CN.C.)that reads “Here lies (Dsus)poor (D7)old (Gm)Jack!”

But I (Am)nev er in tend ed all this (E)mad ness, nev er.

And (Em)no bod y real ly un der (Cm)stood, (well how could they?) that (C#m)all I ev er want ed was to bring them some thing great.

(CN.C.)Why does noth ing ev er turn out like it should?

(F#7)Well, (Bm)what the (G)heck, I went and (Em)did my (F#7)best.

And, by (G#m)God, I real ly tast ed some thing (D#)swell.

For a (C#m)mo ment, (F#m6)why, I e ven (Gdim7)touched the (Ab)sky.

And at (Bbm)least I left some (F7)sto ries they can (Bbm)tell.

I did!

And, for the (F7)first time (Gb)since I don’t re (Abm)mem ber (Gdim7)when, I’d felt (Bbm)just like my (Cdim7)old bon y (Bbm)self a (F7)gain.

And (Gdim7)I, (Bbm)Jack, (CN.C.)the Pump kin King!

(CN.C.)And I (Am)just can’t (B7)wait un til next (F)Hal low (E)een ’cause I’ve (F#m)got some new i (Fm)de as that will (Am)real ly make them (Fm)scream.

And, by (Bbm)God, I’m (Gdim7)real ly gon na (Bbm)give it all my (Gm)might!

I (Bbdim7)hope there’s still (B)time to (Em)set thing’s (Ebdim7)right!
