[Intro 1]
[G]
i'm chained to the [D]wall[G]

[Verse 1]
[D]
[C]i'm nothing at all[G][D][C]
and my eyes [G]look into the [D]sunset
thinking of [C]better things to do
like a [G]monkey [D]in a zoo
[C]

[Verse 2]
the days go so [G]slow[D]
[C]i don't have no friends
[G]exc[D]ept[C] all these[G] people who[D]
want me to [C]do tricks for them
like a mon[G]key [D]in [C]a zoo[G]

[Verse 3]
and it could happen to [C]you[Em]
[Am]you could be in my[G] place
no it wasn't always [C]like this[Em]
[Am]oh but i never saw it comi[D]ng
i'm so [G]alone

[Verse 4]
[D]
[C]but this is my [G]home[D][C]
and the bars that [D]surround me
keep me from [C]knowing any better
like a [G]monkey [D]in a zoo
[C]

[Verse 5]
throw me a peanut
[G]lau[D]gh [C]and make jokes[G][D][C]
but [G]i've had enough pea[D]nuts
and i'm [C]ready to croak
like a [G]monkey [D]in [C]a zoo[G]

[Verse 6]
you come to look [C]at [G]me
[Am]you seem s[G]o amused
but things would look [C]different[Em]
[Am]if you were in my shoe[D]s

[Verse 7]
i know it's my [G]fault[D]
[C]but i want out[G]
[D]and[C] when i cry out no[G]body
[D]seems to und[C]erstand
like a mon[G]key [D]in a zoo[C]

[Verse 8]
you say i'm [G]cute[D]
[C]you don't know how much
[G]that hurts[D][C]
you don't know [G]how [D]it feels
to live [C]in your own dirt
like a mon[G]key [D]in a zoo
[C]an d

[Verse 9]
[G]it could happen to you[C][G]
[Am]you could be in my[G] place
don't let yourself [C]slip[G]
[Am]don't keep egg on your [D]face
i used [G]to be [D]happy

[Verse 10]
[C]i can't remember those d[G]ays[D][C]
but i sold [G]my freedom [D]for
free [C]room and board
like a [G]monkey [D]in a zoo[C]
[G]
