G D C
I'm chained to the wall.
C G D C
I have nothin' at all.
C G D C
And my eyes look into the sunset thinkin' of better things to do,
C G D C
Like a monkey in a zoo.
G D C
The days go so slow.
C G D C
I don't have no friends.
C G D C
Except all these people who want me to do tricks for them,
C G D C
Like a monkey in a zoo.
( G G7 )
C G/B Am
And it could happen to you.
Am G
You could be in my place.
G7 C G/B Am
No it wasn't always like this,
Am D7
But I never saw it comin'.
G D C
I'm so alone,
C G D C
But this is my home.
C G D C
And the bars that surround me keep me from knowin' any better,
C G D C
Like a monkey in a zoo.
G D C
Throw me a peanut.
C G D C
Laugh and make jokes.
C G D C
But I've had enough of peanuts and I'm ready to choke,
C G D C
Like a monkey in a zoo.
( G G7 )
C G/B Am
You come to look at me.
Am G
You seem so amused.
G7 C G/B Am
But things would look different
Am D7
If you were in my shoes.
G D C
I know its my fault,
C G D C
But I want out.
C G D C
And when I cry out nobody seems to understand,
C G D C
Like a monkey in a zoo.
G D C
You say I'm cute.
C G D C
You don't know how much that hurts.
C G D C
You don't know how it feels to live in your own dirt,
C G D C
Like a monkey in a zoo.
( G G7 )
C G/B Am
And it could happen to you.
Am G
You could be in my place.
G7 C G/B Am
Don't let yourself slip.
Am D7
Don't keep egg on your face.
G D C
I used to be happy.
C G D C
I can't remember those days.
C G D C
But I sold my freedom for free room and board,
C G D C G
Like a monkey in a zoo.
