E       B   C#m      G#m      A   B      E
With a foot out the door, and one in my way
        B  C#m    G#m        A      B    E
You're leaving me home for another work day
     B  C#m    G#m             A      B    E
I'd follow you out, but you'd keep me in, so
     B   C#m      G#m           A           B
I'm watching you leave with my nose on the window

I could just sleep all day
Just to stay up at night And keep you awake
If I could speak my mind
I’d go out on a limb and say with a sigh

Cdim         C#m
I'm the only one
     D                             F#
Who sees you when you think you're by yourself

Chorus:
                    E   B C#m
If I'm too much to carry
G#m   A   B      E     B C#m
Just put me down gently
G#m     A   B       E  B C#m
If I'm too much to carry
G#m   A   B       E    B C#m G#m A B
Just put me down gently

I’ve been your pillow for an after-work nap
And how many shrinks curl up in your lap?
Friends come and go but I’m still here
Have you forgotten me?

My curiosity is killing me

Chorus:
If I’m too much to carry
Just put me down gently
If I’m too much to carry
Just put me down gently

       D#7    G#m
Don't worry at all for me
    Edim7 D#7 G#         G#7
I've always landed on my feet
   Cdim       G#             C#m   B    F#
So if you're gone, at least leave the TV on
 A F# G#
Reruns

I could just sleep all day
Just to stay up at night
Keep you awake

Chorus:
If I could speak my mind
I’d go out on a limb and say with a sigh
I’m the only one who sees you
think you’re by yourself
If I’m too much to carry
Just put me down gently
If I’m too much to carry
Just put me down gently

Just put me down gently
(If I could speak my mind.)
Just put me down gently
(If I could speak my mind.)
Just put me down gently
