lickety split didn't take too long
  G        C       F#m7       B7
A junkie's sick, a monkey's strong
E          C#m7   A
That's what's wrong

        Em7               A7sus4     Dmaj7 D
Well, I guess he's been messing around wntown
F#m7      B7           Emaj7    E
so sad to see the man losing ground
G        C       F#m7       B7
winding wn behind closed ors
E          C#m7   A
on all urs

C                     G
Ma, n't you call him my ne;
          D       D/E   A
he can't hear you anymore
C            G
Even if he ses the se to you
         D        Bm7     Esus4 E
that's a stranger to your or
C                 G/B             A
Ask him what's he me here r

Oh my God, a monkey can move a man
Send him to hell and me again
With an pty hand in the afternoon
soting r the moon

It's halfway sick and it's halfway stoned
He'd sure like to kick but he's too far ne
so they wind him wn with the methane
He's all on his own

But by, n't you throw your love away
I hate to se unkind
It's only that I understand the man
that the monkey can leave behind
I used to think he was a friend of mine
