The feeling's not the same

 Am

in fact it's getting pretty tame

it's just not that great anymore

I guess I'll go outside

'take it on down to the shore

Wallowing in fear

 Am

the days and weeks that you're not here

F Bb G

is all the waiting in vain

The day that you arrived

my sleeping monkey is revived

F Bb G

but you sent him home on the train...

Sneakin' Sally through the alley

Sneakin' Sally through the alley

Sneakin' Sally through the alley, tryin' to keep her out of sight Sneakin' Sally through the alley , when up pops the wife.

Well I can't find nothing wrong with

being friends 'cause sometimes she lets me use the car

If you can't find nothing wrong with

your mind, you better find something wrong with her

 E A E

Cause I began to try to explain

 D A E

But it just wasn't.. just wasn't what it seemed

B E D E>D>B>E E>D>B>E

I better find somethin' to do with my time

Fact is I just been seen!

Sneakin' through the alley with Sally

.. ??

Jam

Sneakin' Sally through the alley

trying to get away clean

Sneakin' Sally through the alley

when up pops the queen.

Tryin to talk double talk, get-myself-in-trouble-talk

Catchin' myself in lies,

Catch myself in lies.

Momma just looked at me just like I was Crazy

She didn't bat an eye

Cause I began to try to explain

That it just wasn't .. just , just wasn't what it seemed

Now I better find somethin' to do with

my time, fact is, Ohhhhhh, just been caught!  

Just been caught!

Sneakin' through the alley with Sally
