Like A Monkey in a Zoo (zack26)
(thanks to Jimmy Nothin’ for lyrics on the RU website)

  G      D        C
| 1  2  3  4  | 1  2  3  4 |
I’m chained to the wall. 
I have nothin’ at all. 
And my eyes look into the sunset 
Thinkin’ of better things to do,
Like a monkey in a zoo.

The days go so slow.
I don’t have no friends.
Except all these people 
Who want me to do tricks for them, 
Like a monkey in a zoo.

  G              G7
| 1  2  3  4 | 1  2  3  4 |

  C    C/B     Am            G             G7
| 1  2  3  4 | 1  2  3  4 | 1  2  3  4 | 1  2  3  4 |
  C    C/B     Am            D             D7

And it could happen to you. 
You could be in my place.
No it wasn’t always like this, 
But I never saw it comin’.

(verse chords)
I’m so alone,
But this is my home.
And the bars that surround me
Keep me from knowin’ any better,
Like a monkey in a zoo.

Throw me a peanut.
Laugh and make jokes.
But I’ve had enough peanuts 
And I’m ready to choke,
Like a monkey in a zoo

(bridge chords)
You come to look at me.
You seem so amused.
But things would look different 
If you were in my shoes.

(verse chords)
I know its my fault,
But I want out.
And when I cry out
Nobody seems to understand,
Like a monkey in a zoo

You say I’m cute. 
You don’t know how much that hurts.
You don’t know how it feels 
To live in your own dirt,
Like a monkey in a zoo

(bridge chords)
And it could happen to you.
You could be in my place.
Don’t let yourself slip.
Don’t keep egg on your face.

(verse chords)
I used to be happy. 
I cant remember those days.
But I sold my freedom 
For free room and board, 
Like a monkey in a zoo.

(end on G7)
