Em D G Bm


[Verse 1]

Em            D                  G       Bm
Stuck in the shade where there's no sunshine
Em            D                     G          Bm
I don't wanna play with them other kids in the sun


[Pre-Chorus 1]

                   Em  D            G         Bm
Since you left me, babe it's been a long way down
                   Em  D               G      Bm
Yeah, you left me, babe it's been a long way down


[Chorus 1]

Em            D                  G       Bm
What you don't know won't hurt you, yeah ignorance is bliss
Em   D     G       Bm
I'm a happy idiot waving at cars
Em        D                  G             Bm
I'm gonna bang my head to the wall 'till I feel like nothing at all
Em   D    G           Bm
I'm a happy idiot to keep my mind off you


[Verse 2]

Em         D             G       Bm
Stuck in a daze and I've lost my mind
Em            D              G          Bm
I don't wanna stay where the blame's all mine


[Pre-Chorus 2]

                   Em  D            G         Bm
Since you left me, babe it's been a long way down
                   Em  D               G      Bm
Yeah, you left me, babe it's been a long way down


[Bridge]
Em G
     So, I shut it off
Em G  
     So, I shut it all off
Em G  
     So, I shut it off
Em G
     So, I shut it all off
Em G    Bm


[Pre-Chorus 3]

Em     D           G        Bm
       It's been a long way down
Em     D           G        Bm
       It's been a long way down


[Chorus 2]

Em            D                  G       Bm
What you don't know won't hurt you, yeah ignorance is bliss
Em   D     G       Bm
I'm a happy idiot waving at cars
Em        D                  G             Bm
I'm gonna bang my head to the wall 'till I feel like nothing at all
Em   D    G           Bm
I'm a happy idiot


[Outro]

Em  D   G   Bm
         To keep my mind off you
Em  D   G   Bm
         To keep my mind off you
Em  D   G   Bm
         To keep my mind off you
Em  D   G   Bm
