Lyrics

(G)Talk in’ to my (Bm)self and feel in’ (B)old,

(Am11)some times I’d like to (Bm7)quit,

(Cmaj7)noth ing ev er seems to (Bm7)fit.

(Em7)Hang in’ a (Em)round,

(Am7)noth ing to do but (G)frown;

(Am7)rain y days and Mon days (C)al ways get me (G)down.

(G)What I’ve got they (Bm)used to call the (B)blues.

(Am11)Noth ing is real ly (Bm7)wrong,

(Cmaj7)feel in’ like I don’t be (Bm7)long.

(Em7)Walk in’ a (Em)round

(Am7)some kind of lone ly (G)clown;

(Am7)rain y days and Mon days (C)al ways get me (G)down.

(G)down.

(Em7)Fun ny but it (Cmaj7)seems I al ways (Am7)wind up (D)here with (G)you,

nice to (Cmaj7)know some bod y (Am7)loves me.

(Em7)Fun ny but it (Cmaj7)seems that it’s the (Am7)on ly (D)thing to (G)do,

run and (Cmaj7)find the one who (Am7)loves me.

(G)What I feel has (Bm)come and gone be (B)fore.

(Am11)No need to talk it (Bm7)out,

(Cmaj7)we know what it’s all a (Bm7)bout.

(Em7)Hang in’ a (Em)round,

(Am7)noth ing to do but (G)frown;

(Am7)rain y days and Mon days (C)al ways get me (G)down.
