Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 There's too much work today

And I don't want to do anything today

No, I don't want to

 But the barn out there needs maintenance

 And I ain't got the patience

 I think I'd rather sit and watch it burn

 Wait right here, baby, 'til you return

All our friends come back, they annoy me

 They try to get me high, but they destroy me

 They think they do me service

 But they just make me nervous

 What goes on ain't nobody's concern

 I'll tell you everything when you return

 And I can't stand it here

 If you're not standing here

 I can't keep it together

 I can't be brave forever

 You know not how a man like me can yearn

 I'll keep you by my side when you return

I can't stand it here

 If you're not standing here

 I wish that I was tougher

 But it serves me right to suffer

 You don't know how a man like me can yearn

 I'll tell you everything when you return

 There's too much work today, and I don't care to

 Do all the things they say, 'cause it's not fair to

 Turn this house into a home

 It can't be done alone

 Give me one more chance that I may earn

 Earn back you, baby, when you return
