Intro: G 

G 
Well, I didn't know it would come to this 
G 
But that's what happens when you're on your own 
            Am             C                G 
And you're alright letting nice things go 

G 
Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me 
G 
Gold and made of flowers dangling 
       Am     C                    G      
And I almost cried as I sold them all 
G                                Em 
I don't mind living on bread and oranges, no no 
       G               Em 
But I gotta get to and from where I come 
         Am                  C 
And it's gonna take money to go 
   G      D     Am     C    G 
Oh no, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh,  

G  
In the name of higher consciousness 
          Em               
I let the best man I knew go 
            G                   Em 
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved 
                   Am               C 
But it's better to know all you can know 
            G                   Em 
I said it's nice to love and be loved 
               Am            C 
But I'd rather know what God knows 
  G      D     Am      C       G 
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, 

D     Em      C    G 
I can do this once more 
Em          C 
No man can keep me together 
       G        C          D 
Been broken since I was born 

      G 
Well, I didn't know it would come to this 

But that's what happens when you're on your own 
           Am               C              G 
And you're alright letting nice things go
