Artist: The Monkees
[VERSE 1]
[A]
[G]You said you c[D]ouldn't tell the [Em]doormat from my [D]face
[G]You said if [F#m]I had brains I would [E]pawn them [A]
[A#]Could be I've [F]finally [Gm]gotten up off of my [D]thumbs
[A#]Could be that [A]you're the one that was on them
[CHORUS]
[D]Cause the plants have grown
[D]The dog came home
[D]The bills are all getting p[G]aid
[G]Things are much [F#]better since [Em]you went away[A]
[D]And I've changed my looks
[D]I read new books
[D]I've got friends that mean what they [G]say
[G]Things are much [F#]better since [Em]you went away[A]
[VERSE 2]
[G]You said with[D]out your help I [Em]couldn't tie my [D]shoes
[G]You said with[F#m]out a doubt I'd be [E]stranded [A]
[A#]Could be that [F]you were right and you [Gm]had to fly the coop[D]
[A#]Could be the [A]eagle finally has landed
[CHORUS]
[D]Cause the plants have grown
[D]The dog came home
[D]The bills are all getting p[G]aid
[G]Things are much [F#]better since [Em]you went away[A]
[D]And I've changed my looks
[D]I read new books
[D]I've got friends that mean what they [G]say
[G]Things are much [F#]better since [Em]you went away[A]
[BRIDGE]
[Bm]When I was younger I was [A]told without [G#m]another
I'd be [G]incomplete[Bm] and [Em]deflated[A]
[Bm]My chosen [A#]one has chosen [A]to befriend [G#m]another
And to [G]my surprise - [D]
I'm [Em]elated! [A]
[CHORUS]
[D]Cause the plants have grown
[D]The dog came home
[D]The bills are all getting p[G]aid
