[Verse 1]
Looking Gall around the Cadd9room I see the Gclutter in thDsus2e gloom
Em7I'm not onCadd9ly back, IG'm not onDly numb
Changing Gshades within the Cadd9evening  In a Gday then I'll be Dsus2leaving
Em7I'm not onCadd9ly back, IG'm not onDly numb
[Verse 2]
When the Cadd9air at home is Dsus2thin
Getting Em7out then looking Cadd9in
Yeah Dsus2she knows, Cadd9she knows, Dsus2she knows
It ain't Cadd9awful hard to tDsus2ell
What it'Em7s like, my little Cadd9hell
           Dsus2        Cadd9   Dsus2... (let fade)
Yeah she knows, she knows, she knows
[Verse 3]
I'm now Gfamiliar with tCadd9he tone I hear Gin bed when IDsus2'm alone
Em7I'm not onCadd9ly back, IG'm not onDly numb
In the sGhade below the Cadd9eaves
Think I coGuld chain smoDsus2ke anything
Em7I'm not onCadd9ly back, IG'm not onDly numb
[Verse 4]
When the Cadd9air at home is Dsus2thin
Getting Em7out then looking Cadd9in
Yeah Dsus2she knows, Cadd9she knows, Dsus2she knows
It ain't Cadd9awful hard to tDsus2ell
What it'Em7s like, my little Cadd9hell
Yeah Dsus2she knows, Cadd9she knows, Dsus2she knows
Yeah Gshe knows, Dsus2she knows, Gshe knows
[Bridge]
Em7She sees all the cars Cadd9around the parking lots of bars we've Dplayed and staGyed
Em7Started laughing, looking Cadd9down upon the bed that we've Dmade
We've Cadd9made, we've Dsus2made, we'vCadd9e made
[Solo]

We've Cadd9made, we've Dsus2made, we'vCadd9e made
[Verse 5]
The Cadd9air at home is Dsus2thin
Getting Em7out then looking Cadd9in

Changing Gshades within the Cadd9evening
In a Gday then I'll be Dsus2leaving
Em7I'm not onCadd9ly back, IG'm not onDly numb...
