These ain't rain clouds over my head

Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed

Just can't seem to get ahead in life

Won't somebody help me please

Bm
I lay awake every night

Tryin' to figure out how to make things right

There's got to be a better way I know

To shake this monkey off 'cause he's makin' me so

Won't somebody help me please

To never know the real meaning
