B                      F#   E
What have we done with innocence?
B                         F#  E
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
B           F#  E
adolescent resident
B                     F#   E
Wasting another night on planning my revenge

Chorus:
B           G#          F#   E    F# E C
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
B        G#         F# E  F# E C
One more indecent accident
B          G#            F#    E F# E C
I'd rather leave than suffer this
B          G#          F#   E   F# E C
I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends?
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure, wind up snapping in the end

One in ten
One in ten
One in ten

B                        F#
One last thing before I quit
   E
I never wanted any more than
B                    F#
I could fit into my head
    E
I still remember every single
B                            F#
word you said and all the SHIT
      E
that somehow came along with it
        B                               F#
Still there's one thing that comforts me
      E
since I was always caged and now i'm free!

Chorus

B                       F#   E
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
(fall in, fall out)

Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
(fall in, fall out)
B                       F#   E
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
(fall in, fall out)
B                            E
Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
