[Intro]
B E B F#
[Verse]
B
You yelled "hey!" when your car wouldn't start
F#
So you got real nervous and started to eat your heart out
Now you're so fat your shoes don't fit on your feet
B
You've got trouble
E
And it's tailor made
B F#
Well mama lay your head down in the shade
[Chorus]
B E
'Cause your eyes are tired, and your feet are too
B F#
And you wish the world was as tired as you, whoa
B E
Well I'll write a letter, and I'll send it away
B F# B
And put all the trouble in it you had today
[Instrumental]
B E B F#
[Verse]
B F#
Oh your telephone rang and you went "oh ho"
B E
You forgot about this, and you forgot about that
B F#
'Cause you got to get back to what you're doing
B F#
Goodbye, click that, so and so
B F# B
You're an island and on your own
B
You yelled "hey!" when the stove blew up
F#
Upset? Why, yes
B
And the footprints on the ceiling, they're almost gone
E
And you're wondering why?
B F#
Well mama lay your head down, don't you cry
[Chorus]
B E
'Cause your eyes are tired, and your feet are too
B F#
And you wish the world was as tired as you
B E
Well I'll write a letter, and I'll send it away
B F# B
And put all the trouble in it you had today
[Outro]
