Tom: F
F
Hey mister, mister, you can have my day
F
But you better leave my nights alone
Bb Am C F
I'm leaving in the evening, then I'll be goin' home
F
Hey mister, mister you can have me pay
Dm
But I'm never yours to own
Bm F
Only I, it's the time when I want it
Bm F
And only I, so leave my night alone
[Verse 1]
F
I put a face on to wear through the day
Dm
It's a heavy uniform hanging on me
Dm F
But here I am to do what I have to
F
Noddin' my head, hummin' the drum
Dm
Going through the motion
Dm
Moving, carry on
Dm F
Until the sundown calls the time that I'll be gone
Bm F
Only I, it's the night when I want it
Bm F
And only I never let it go
Bm F
Only I, it's my time and I want it
Gm C
Only mine to own
[Chorus]
F
Hey mister, mister, you can have my day
F
But you better leave my nights alone
Bb Am C F
I'm leaving in the evening, then I'll be goin' home
F
Hey mister, mister you can have my pay
Dm
But I'm never yours to own
Bb Am C F
I'll give you every day but the nights are just my own
[Verse 2]
F
You can tell me what to say, tell me what to do
Dm
Pull me any way that you want to
Dm F
But you won't ever make me work the night through
F
'Cause I've got places to go, people to see
Dm F
Got my mind set on the sunset to separate me from this grindstone, carving out my way back home
Bb F Bb F
Only I, only I, only I, in the night is when I want it
Bb F Gm C
Only I, only I, so leave my night alone
[Chorus]
F
Hey mister, mister, you can have my day
F Dm
But you better leave my nights alone
Bb Am C F
I'm leaving in the evening, then I'll be goin' home
F
Hey mister, mister you can have me pay
Dm
But I'm never yours to own
Bb Am C F
I'll give you every day but the nights are just my own
[Bridge]
Bm F Bm F
You can tie me up for a moment and I'll earn what I owe
Bm C
You can't tie me up, you better let me go
[Chorus]
F
Hey mister, mister, you can have my day
F Dm Gm F Gm
But you better leave my nights alo-o-o-one, who-a-a-a, whoa-a-a-
F
Hey mister, mister you can have me pay

But I'm never yours to o-o-o-o-own, who-a-a-a, whoa-a-a-a, who-a-a-a, who-a-a-a-a
