[Verse 1]
F G7 C
Since I was young I've been very hard to please
F G7 C
And I don't know wrong from right
F
But there is one thing I could never understand
G7
Some of the sick things that a girl does to a man, so
[Chorus]
C F G
I'm just sittin' on a fence
C F G
You can say I got no sense
C D
Trying to make up my mind
G C
Really is too horrifying
F G C
So I'm sittin' on a fence
[Verse 2]
F G7 C
All of my friends at school grew up and settled down
F G7 C
And they mortgaged up their lives
F
One thing's not said too much, but I think it's true
G7
They just get married 'cause there's nothing else to do, so
[Chorus]
C F G
I'm just sittin' on a fence
C F G
You can say I got no sense
C D
Trying to make up my mind
G C
Really is too horrifying
F G C
So I'm sittin' on a fence
[Chorus]
C F G
I'm just sittin' on a fence
C F G
You can say I got no sense
C D
Trying to make up my mind
G C
Really is too horrifying
F G C
So I'm sittin' on a fence
[Verse 3]
F F G7 C
The day-can-come when-you-get-old and sick and tired of life
F G7 C
You just never realize
F
Maybe the choice you made wasn't really right
G7
But you go out and you don't come back at night, so
[Chorus]
C F G
I'm still sittin' on a fence
C F G
You can say I got no sense
C D
Trying to make up my mind
G C
Really is too horrifying
F G C
So I'm sittin' on a fence
