G                               Em
I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness
    A7                                   D
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience, I guess.
   G                               Em
If I were walking in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
      A7                                              D
While you and your friends are worrying about me, I'm having lots of fun
         Em
Counting flowers on the wall, That don't bother me at all
Em
Playing solitaire till dawn, with a deck of 51

Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo,
               D     D7              D
Now don't tell me... I've nothing to do
     G                                  Em
Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town
   A7                               D
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
    G                                      Em
So, please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doing fine
A7                               D
You can always find me here, I'm having quite a time

Chorus

     G                             Em
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
A7                      D
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
G                               Em
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
      A7                          D
So, I must go back to my room and make my day complete
