C                                F              C    F
I've been on this roller coaster just too many times

    C                              F                     C    G
And always it seems like the blind, keep on leading the blind

Am                G
Tried to get them on the phone

Am                G
Tried to find my way back home

C                     F                   C   G
Tried and failed, and tried and failed, again
[Bridge]
         F                            G
But baby I don't want you 'cause you look so good

F                           G
I don't want you ''cause I know I should

Am                   F                    G
I don't want you to come in from the rain

I want you to be my ball and chain
[Verse]
        C                F             C           F
Ah just lately I've been roaming from town to town

           C                               F
I've been setting them up, setting them up

                             C   G
And I've been knocking them down

      Am                                 G
I was born to live, it seems, a fugitive dream

Am                        G
Make things always better than they seem

C                           F
  And I stop and start, and stop and start

                     C   G
And stop and start again
[Bridge]
     F                 G
Baby I don't want you for your money

F                           G
I don't want you ''cause I love you honey

Am                  F                G
I don't want you to ease this memory pain
[Chorus]
C                 F                 C  F
No, I want you to be my ball and chain

     C             F      G                 C   F   C   G
Yes, I want you to be my, be my ball and chain

Ah when I see you in the garden once again

 C                      F               C  G
Baby you'll be standing in the summer rain

 Am                             G
Laugh and cry and say what it's all about

Am           G
You can even jump and shout

C                    F                  C  G
And you'll smile and say how are you again

I don't want you ''cause I'm so blue

I don't want you ''cause you know what to do

Am                       F                    G
I don't want you because all my love seems in vain
