Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C]
[F][Bb][F][Bb][G]

[Verse 1]
There's [C]an
old [F]... coming on [C]my new [F]tv
So I [C]go out for a [F]quiet [C]drink
But it costs a [F]packet and
[C]it's such a [F]racket
That [C]I can't hear [F]myself [C]think
There's [F]a mic[Bb]rochip one armed
ban[F]dit with [Bb]a screw loose
[C]A stripper in [F]the corner
with a [C]face like [F]thunder
A terrible [Bb]band playing
[F]"johnny be [Bb]goode"[C]
[G]So I'd rather go home
and stay quietly alone
[C][F]

[Verse 2]
[C]
[F]I get up [C]in the morning[F] with the rad[C]io on
[F]I do my mak[C]eup and I go[F]
to look for [C]work
Somebody [F]tells me that
[C]the job's just [F]gone
And I've [C]been replaced
[F]by some comput[C]er jerk
I would [F]talk to my boy[Bb]friend
but I [F]never [Bb]can
'cause [C]a space in[F]vader
[C]stole my [F]man
There's a [Bb]dreadful playing
[F]"johnny be [Bb]goode"[C][G]
So I'd rather go home and stay
quietly [C]alone
[F][C]

[Verse 3]
[F]Trying to keep my sanity is hard to do
[Bb]Living like a hermit all alone
[Eb]Find an occupation that
won't deafen me
[Ab]My sense of reality's [G]gone

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][Bb][F][Bb]
[C][F][C][F][Bb][F]
[Bb][G]
[C]My temperat

[Verse 4]
[F]ure is getting
[C]higher and [F]higher
And I'm [C]shaking [F]in my [C]jeans
'cause I get so [F]angry
when I'm [C]shut [F]in
With [C]one of [F]those [C]machines
I would [F]talk to my boy[Bb]friend
but I [F]never [Bb]can
'cause [C]a space in[F]vader [C]stole my [F]man
And [Bb]the synthesizer's playing
[F]"johnny be [Bb]goode"[C][G]
Then I'd rather go home and
stay quietly [C]alone[F][C]
[F]Quietly [C]alone[F][C]
[F]Quietly [C]alone[F][C]
[F]Quietly [C]alone[F][C][F][C][F][C]
[F][C][F][C]
[F]Quietly alone

[Outro 1]
