Sittin On A Fence

The Rolling Stones


Tom: C

F           G7                           C
Since I was young I've been very hard to please
F     G7                    C
And I don't know wrong from right
F
But there is one thing I could never understand
G7
Some of the sick things that a girl does to a man, so

[Chorus]
C         F           G
I'm just sittin' on a fence
C       F            G
You can say I got no sense
C              D
Trying to make up my mind
G             C
Really is too horrifying
F      G            C
So I'm sittin' on a fence

[Verse 2]
F         G7                                    C
All of my friends at school grew up and settled down
F        G7                 C
And they mortgaged up their lives
F
One thing's not said too much, but I think it's true
G7
They just get married 'cause there's nothing else to do, so

[Chorus]
C         F           G
I'm just sittin' on a fence
C       F            G
You can say I got no sense
C              D
Trying to make up my mind
G             C
Really is too horrifying
F      G            C
So I'm sittin' on a fence

[Chorus]
C         F           G
I'm just sittin' on a fence
C       F            G
You can say I got no sense
C              D
Trying to make up my mind
G             C
Really is too horrifying
F      G            C
So I'm sittin' on a fence

[Verse 3]
    F            F                    G7                C
The day-can-come when-you-get-old and sick and tired of life
F        G7    C
You just never realize
F
Maybe the choice you made wasn't really right
G7
But you go out and you don't come back at night, so

[Chorus]
C         F           G
I'm still sittin' on a fence
C       F            G
You can say I got no sense
C              D
Trying to make up my mind
G             C
Really is too horrifying
F      G            C
So I'm sittin' on a fence
