Intro Bm
Bm
You stare into the room
Em
Nothing there but space
G
No sign of any message

Gone without a trace
But I don’t want your pity if
That’s what you think
I’ll take my comfort
From this hole I’m sinking in
Only Note (B, C#, D) C# B A G B
Accord Bm, A, Bm, A, G, E
C#m
Waste my time, drink my wine,

Take my money

That’s all right, I don’t mind

But don’t try to be funny
E C#m
Don’t make me good, don’t make me mad
A
Don’t make me fly, don’t make me happy
F#m
Don’t make me happy
 
It’s nice here in this room
You would like it, yes you would
It’s got a bed, two chairs
and a table, I’d leave here if I could
There’s a man standing up
who’s Down on his knees
Outside the cold
wind sends a Shiver through the trees
On the line, left behind,
under pressure
It’s so bad, leave me be,
I don’t want to get better
Don’t make me good
Don’t make me mad
Don’t make me fly
Don’t make me happy
Don’t make me happy
I don’t care what you think
But think about this
It could have been somebody else,
beware of what you wish
Now the door is closed,
locked and sealed
And now you think you know
How rejection feels
Waste my time, drink my wine,
take my money
That’s alright, I don’t mind
But don’t try to be funny
Don’t make me good
Don’t make me mad
Don’t make me fly
Don’t make me happy

Don’t make me happy
