     Gmaj7                   G6
Well, I didn't know it would come to this
   Gmaj7                            G6
But that's what happens when you're on your own
           Am               C           G Gmaj7
And you're alright letting nice things go

Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me
Golden metal flowers dangling
And I almost cried as I sold them off

    Gmaj7        G6                  Em
And I don't mind living on bread and oranges,
      Gmaj7             Em
But I gotta get to and from where I come
         Am                   C
And it's gonna take money to go

Chorus:
    G     D      Am     C      G  Gmaj7
Oh no, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved

But it's better to know all you can know
Said it's nice to love and be loved
But I'd rather know what God knows

Chorus

D     Em        C    G    Em
I can    do this once more
            C
No man can keep me together
       Am                 D
Been broken since I was born

Well, I didn't know it would come to this
But that's what happens when you're on your own
And you're alright with letting nice things go
