New Monkey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Here come the sidewalk boss again
Telling me [A]how I can't cave in
That [Bm]I'm a study in black
[G]Need a pat on [E]the back
I look up and [Em]smile
[G]A picture [D]of dissatisfaction
That he can [A]only see as
a junkie
Though I might be straight as an arrow
He's busy shaking hands
[Bm]with my monkey
Busy shaking hands [G]with my monkey
well [E]I go in the car
Straight to the [G]bar[A]
Where my sweetie [Bm]pours the beer
For the millions [G]of fans ignoring
the [E]band[G]s[A]
He's in my ear
Wants [Bm]me to live in denial
Says [G]you've [E]got[Em]ta[G]
[A]settle [D]for something
[A]Though it might not be really
[Bm]livi[G]ng[E][G][D]
Anything is better [A]than nothing
Anything is bet[Bm]ter than nothing

[Verse 2]
No actor action man [G]gonna
move in [E]to take [Em]my place
[G]I'l[A]l be pumping out the produc[Bm]t
Just a total waste

[Verse 3]
Look at [G]your hands unoc[E]cupied
[G]Look [A]at the lengths you'll
go to hide
You're under the [Bm]veil
Pretending to fail
Gotta whole lot [G]of empty [E]time left to go
[Em]Now [G]you've gotta fill it w[Em]ith something
I [D]know what you can do
[Em]don't you know
[D]Anything is better [A]than
[Em]noth[G]ing.[A][D]

[Verse 4]
No [A]actor action man gonna move
in to take my place
I'll be pumping [Bm]out the product
Just [G]a total waste

[Verse 5]
[E]I'm here with [G]my [D]cup[A]
[Bm]Afraid to look up
[G]This [E]is [G]how [A]I spend my time
Lazy[Bm]ing around, head hanging down
[G]Stuck in [Em]side [G]my i[A]magination
Busy making something
[Bm]from nothing
Pictures of [G]hope and depression
[E]Anything [Em]is better than [G]nothing
Anything is better than nothing
Any[E]thing is bet[G]ter than nothing
[E]Anything [G]is better than nothing
