Tone: [Bb]
Verse 1:
[Bbmaj7]Sorry, sorry I don't think that I
Can[Gm7]Can make it to the plans we made
Something cam[Ebmaj7]came up, I'm bogged down
Got so much work that I just found
a [Eb7]trip outside I can't allow
[Bbmaj7]Maybe, maybe if I planned ahead
I'd f[Gm7]feel a little more at ease
[Ebmaj7]When I talk about my plans and why
I can't come out tonight
I [Eb7]laugh when I fall for my own lies...
Chorus:
I can't leave my[Bbmaj7]my room -I can't leave my room-
I've got so ma[Gm7]many things I've gotta do
[Ebmaj7]Checklist on the wall -The wall-
Oh[Eb7]Oh you seem rather tall
I can't leave my [Bbmaj7]room -I can't leave my room-
I made a d[Gm7]daily schedule yesterday
Even if I [Eb7]missed the first thing on the list
And the [Ebmaj7]hundred today got-to-do bits
[Eb7]I'm sure tomorrow's the day
I can't leave my ro[Bbmaj7]room...
Instrumental:
[Bbmaj7] [Gm7] [Ebmaj7] [Eb7]
Verse 2:
[Bbmaj7]You know, you know that I'm gonna try
But it[Gm7]it seems that I've wasted time
See I[Ebmaj7]I lack in planning expertise
But excel in procrastinating
[Eb7]It's all on me
[Bbmaj7]Please don't think that I don't care at all
If I[Gm7]I could I'd be out that door
But y[Ebmaj7]you know that I've gotta stay
'Cause I've got too much on my plate
[Eb7]I said that yesterday...
Chorus:
I can't leave my[Bbmaj7]my room -I can't leave my room-
I've got so ma[Gm7]many things I've gotta do
[Ebmaj7]Checklist on the wall -The wall-
Oh[Eb7]Oh you seem rather tall
I can't leave my [Bbmaj7]room -I can't leave my room-
I made a d[Gm7]daily schedule yesterday
Even if I [Eb7]missed the first thing on the list
And the [Ebmaj7]hundred today got-to-do bits
[Eb7]I'm sure tomorrow's the day
I can't leave my ro[Bbmaj7]room...
I swear I swear I c[Gm7]can't leave my room
Lah da[Ebmaj7]dah dee dah -Lah dah dee dah-
Lah dah dee dah -Lah dah dee dah-
[Eb7]Oh oh
