Verse#1

E
You've got your share of problems

A kind of self inflicted hell
         A7sus4
Well you come with so much baggage
              E
I feel like a porter in your hotel

Verse#2
        E
Well it could have been your childhood

Or some hope you couldn't live up to
   A7sus4
Or maybe it's the stars or the moon in your sign
                   E
Or maybe it's just you

Chorus

E
   You gotta know this isn't working
           C               A
(You gotta know this isn't working)
                        E
You gotta know I can't relax
           C               A
(You gotta know I can't relax)
                            G
You gotta know I need some distance
           D                 C
(You gotta know I need some distance)
                      E
I want you off of my back
            C         A
(I want you off of my back)
              D               C
Uh, you gotta know, you gotta know,

verse#3

E
Well you're into self improvement

And there's so much to be gained
        A7sus4
But you don't apply a single thing you learn
                                         E
And then you wonder why you're still the same


verse#4
E
And you don't have a clue what you sound like

Or how many people you hurt
             A7sus4
You say you don't intend the messages you send
                              E
When you treat somebody like dirt

I want you off of my back
             C        A
(I want you off of my back)
                                   E
So I've gotta tell you this ain't working
            C                   A
(I've gotta tell you this ain't working)
                     E
In case you misunderstood
             C          A
(In case you misunderstood)
                         G
You'll be waving I'll be walking
           D               C
(You'll be waving I'll be walking)

     C                    G/B               Am                     Am G/B C
I'm sorry I've hurt your feelings with everything I've had to say
                       G/B                    Am                Am  G/B  C
I could have done it behind your back in that     civilized way
                                    G/B
Maybe if someone had said something sooner
    Am                      Am G/B C
Instead of avoiding a scene
                      G/B                D
But then again people seldom change from everything they've been
