Chorus:

Dee do de de, dee do de de
I don’t have no time for no monkey business
Dee do de de, dee do de de
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Got to be some good times ahead

Sometimes I feel nobody gives me no warning
Find my head is always up in the clouds in a dreamworld
It’s not easy, living on my own, my own, my own

Chorus:

Dee do de de, dee do de de
I don’t have no time for no monkey business
Dee do de de, dee do de de
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
Got to be some good times ahead

[Verse 1]

The boy had a way with words, he sang, he [C/E]moved with grace

He entertained so naturally, no [C7/G]gesture out of place

His [Fm/Ab]road in life was clearly drawn, he didn’t [Bbm7/Ab]hesitate

He played, they [F#m6/A]saw, he [Fm7-5]conquered as [Bbm7-5]the master [Bb7/Ab]of,

as the master [Ebsus2/F]of his [Ebm/F#]fa… [Eb7/G]te’?

The girl had an iron [Abm/Gb]soul no-one could reco[F#/E]gnize

Mat[B/Eb]erial ambition that her gentleness [Eb7/G]disguised

She gave herself to [Abm/Gb]him certain of his [F#/E]fame

[F#m/A]Wanted him for l[F#sus2/Ab]uxury for limelight and his name

And then he[Bbm7/Ab] sang to her…

[Verse 2]

I love you for your silence, I love you for your peace

The still and calm releases, that sweep into my soul

That slowly take control.

I love you for your passion, I love you for your fire

The violent desire, that burns me in it’s flame
A love I dare not name.

His rise was irresistible – yeah, he grew into the part
His explanation simply that he suffered for his art
No base considerations of some glittering reward
The prize was knowing that (his work) his work was noticed and adored.
I love you (yes I love you) for your silence (for your silence)
I love you for your peace
The still and calm releases, that sweep into my soul
And slowly slowly takes control.

He told the truth, yes, he [Ab7/Eb] told the truth (and he told the truth)

Accepting every honour with (with) a masterly display (display)
Of well rehearsed reluctance to be [Ab7/Eb]singled out this way
He started to believe that he was all they said and more(and more)
She forgot – she forgot the reasons (reasons) she had wanted him before - yeah.

I love you for your passion (for your passion)
I love you for your fire
The violent desire, burns me in it’s flame (burns me)
A love I dare I dare not name.

The still and calm releases (releases)

That sweep into my soul (sweep into my soul)

That [C#/G#]slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly)

slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly take control.

[Verse 3]

And when at last they fell apart she [C/E]wished that she could be

The hardened heart of yesterday, as [C7/G]cynical as he

By [Fm/Ab]changing for the better [Bbm7/Ab]she had changed things for the worse

The words that[F#m6/A] made them [Fm7-5]happy once now e………[Bb7/Ab]..choed …

echoed [Ebsus2/F] as a [Ebm/F#]curse…[Eb7/G]…..

[Abm/Gb] [F#/E] [F#m/A] [F#sus2/Ab]

(Chorus)
How can I go on, From day to day
Who can make me strong in every way
Where can I be safe, Where can I belong
In this great big world of sad-……...ness

How can I forget
Those beautiful dreams that we shared
They’re lost [B7/D#]and they’re nowhere to be found
How can I go on?

(Verse 2)
Sometimes I start to tremble [D/C]in the dark
I cannot see When people frighten me
I try to hide myself so [D/C]far from the crowd
Is anybody there to comfort me
Lord oh lord oh lord oh lord precious Lord hear my [C/G]plea – [C/D]yeah
Lord … take care of me

(Chorus)
How can I go on (how can I go on)

From day to day (from day to day)
Who can make me strong (who can make me strong)
In every way (in every way)
Where can I be safe (where can I be safe)
Where can I belong (where can I beelong)
In this great big world (in this great big world of sad…….ness)

How can I forget (how can I forget)
Those beautiful dreams that we shared (those beautiful dreams that we shared)

(Outro)
They’re lost and [B7/D#]nowhere to be foun[Em/G]d
How can I go on?
