Verse: 

C                F 
It doesn't pay to try  
Am                   C   Csus4 
all the smart boys know why  
C                       F  
it doesn't mean I didn't try  
Am                 C   Csus4 
I'll just never know why  


C              F 
It isn't 'cause I'm all alone  
Am                   C    Csus4 
Oh, baby, you're not home 
C            F  
And when I'm home  
Am                 C   Csus4 
Big deal, I'm still alone  


C                F 
It's so restless, I am,  
Am                 C    Csus4 
Beat my head against a pole  
C              F 
Try to knock some sense,  
Am            C   Csus4 
down 'side my bones  
C                      F  
And even though it don't show,  
Am              C  Csus4 
Those guys are so old

Verse: 

C                  F 
You're just a basket case.  
Am              C       Csus4 
And you got no name  
C                  F 
Could you live with me?  
Am         C  Csus4 
Go on and say  
C                       F 
and even though they don't show  
Am                 C  Csus4
