[Hook]
Dm E F
Oh yeah, they call me the recluse
Dm E
Cause I don't go outside for nothing
F Dm E F
No one is gonna make me leave this room
Dm E F
Oh no, they can't tell me nothing, no way
[Verse 1]
Am C F
You see I'm being a fool
Am C F
It gets so I don't care about being cool
Am C F
What's it to you?
Am C F
If I just stay here in this hole that I'm boarded into
[Hook]
Dm E F
Oh yeah, they call me the recluse
Dm E
Cause I don't go outside for nothing
F Dm E F
No one is gonna make me leave this room
Dm E F
Oh no, they can't tell me nothing, no way
[Verse 2]
Am C F
You see, I ain't thinking clear
Am C F
It gets so I don't know I'm feeling sorry for myself
Am C F
Who asked you to interfere?
Am C F
How would you really know what is or isn't good for my health?
Am C F
Why don't you leave me alone?
Am C F
I ain't hurting nobody, why you up in my face?
Am C F
Get up out my soul
Am C F
Why can't you just let me get through my time this way?
[Hook]
Dm E F
Oh yeah, they call me the recluse
Dm E
Cause I don't go outside for nothing
F Dm E F
No one is gonna make me leave this room
Dm E F
Oh no, they can't tell me nothing, no way
[Verse 3]
Am C F
Sitting here by myself, looking mad at myself
Thinking I don't wanna go out there
Am C F
I don't need no help, looking after myself
I got everything I need right here
Am C
I ain't trying to impress anyone
F
In this cesspit jail, I just don't care
Am C
I ain't gotta smell fresh for no woman
F
So I'm blessed not washing my skin or my hair
Am C
They can call me a recluse they ain't gonna remove
F
Or cut me loose from this place, I'm locked in hiding
Am C
Like a rock, I won't move cause you know
F
I've gotten used to the space that I'm occupying
Am C F
There really ain't anything out there but the wind
They'd enjoy more than see me crying
Am C F
So I do it in my room where none of these goons can see me
Though I know they've been trying
Dm E F
I ain't cut out for this shit, I'm a coward I admit
I've never been no big ting
Dm E
The thought of killing makes me sick
F
But I don't wanna be no victim, no way, not Strickland
Dm E F
So I just stay in my cell like I'm bricked in
And hope that stops me from getting kicked in
Dm E
Even if it earns me this nickname in prison
[Hook]
Dm E F
Oh yeah, they call me the recluse
Dm E
Cause I don't go outside for nothing
F Dm E F
No one is gonna make me leave this room
Dm E F
Oh no, they can't tell me nothing, no way
