[D]
Sitting in my room, [Am] playing in the world
[D] And the kids are [Am] not alright
[C] Girl, I'm dangling [G] from to the wall
[C] And the lunatics [G] are taking [D] over
Heaven, I'll bet [Am] I'll do my deed well
[D] And the small [Am] kingdom [C] that you found
[G] Lying on the [C] ground
[G]
[F] I'm just sitting, playing in the [G] world
And the kids are not alright
[Am] [D] [Am] [B]
[D] When I [F] don't have a toy
[G] Is when I [Bb] find my boy
[D] I'm not [F] trying to be
[G] What you want me [Bb] to be
I'm [D] not your friend as [F] a friend
[G] Your queen, your [Bb] love, and your shame
[A] I'm not trying to be
What you want me [D] to be
[F] And the [G]
[Bb] [D]
[F] [G] kids
[Bb] are not [Dm] alright
[A] [D]
Standing [Am] [D] out [Am] in front of a mountain
[D] That I don't [Am] want to [C] climb
Clouds, [G] as in the lower
[C] They don't [G] need the [D] sun
Streets are dark and the [Am] gaslight leads [D] me
Soon I'm out [Am] of sight
[C] Howling back
[G] at the [C] moon
[G] [F] I'm just sitting, playing in the [G] world
And the kids are not alright
[Am] When
[D] [Am] [D] I don't [F] have a toy
[G] Is when I find [Bb] my boy
[D] I'm not [F] trying to be
[G] What you want [Bb] me to be
[D] I'm not your friend [F] as your queen
[G] Your love, [Bb] your love, and your shame
[A] I'm not trying to be
What you want [D] me to be
