[Intro] | C | Bb | F | % | [Verse 1]
C                 Bb             F
  I had a monkey, he was my only friend

C                        Bb                 F
  We lived together like only a human and a monkey can

    C                        Bb                   F
Our days were spent outside, coming home only for bed

       C                             Bb                F
In the morning makes me pancakes but he eats bananas instead
[Pre-chorus 1]
G               Bb                  C
  I should have known this wouldn’t last too long

G                 Bb                   C
  Friendships are hard when there’s no dialogue

Gm7        Bb               C
  I know I should be trying to stay strong

           Gm7             Bb                 C    Csus4  C
But I know I’ve never felt worse since you’ve gone
[Chorus 1]
Eb9           Bb         F
How could you do this to me

Eb9     Bb           F
Without you I’m incomplete

Dm                  Bb                       F
I miss holding your head as you drift off to sleep

Dm                           Bb                         F
Won’t you come home ‘cause I can’t fill this hole in my tree

C                 Bb                            F
  I had a monkey, we were best friends from the start

C                   Bb                      F
I was his owner and he was my little monkey counterpart

       C                 Bb           F
We did everything together but not anymore

          C                         Bb                      F
I knew it wasn’t right to keep you, monkeys were meant to explore
[Pre-chorus 2]
G               Bb                      C
  I should have known this was too good to be true

G              Bb               C
  I still tear up just from the thought of you

Gm7              Bb                C
  I know there’s nothing more that I can do

             Gm7              Bb           C   Csus4 C
‘Cause you deserve to be with monkeys like you
[Chorus 2]
Eb9           Bb         F
How could you do this to me

Eb9     Bb           F
Without you I’m incomplete

Dm                  Bb                       F
I miss holding your head as you drift off to sleep

Dm                           Bb                         F
Won’t you come home ‘cause I can’t fill this hole in my tree

Dm                           Bb                         F
Won’t you come home ‘cause I can’t fill this hole in my tree
