INTRO - [Improvise 8 bars Pure Dm - Dm7 & Dm7sus, finish C7]

       Dm7          C        Gm7        C7
When I woke up this morning alone in my bed

     Am7            Dm                 Bb7        C
In a cold room with damp sheets, and a pain in my head

  Dm7          C             Gm7        C7
I saw you last night and you drove me insane

Am7          Dm       Bb7       C     C7
Why must you hurt me again and again

F         Am          Dm                  C           Bb
I've had enough, if I don't come back for more that's tough

             C        Bb  Am               Dm         C  Bb
'Cos I can't stand it,      the way you've planned it

           C            F       F7
No I can't stand it any longer

Sometimes I get so I tired I can't get no sleep
I'm so drunk I can't stand up on my own two feet
I'm feeling so hungry I don't want to eat
You make me so angry I can't even speak

I'll stay at home where I can be alone
Because I just can't stand it, the way you've planned it
No I can't stand it any longer

SOLO - [16 bars as per intro with organ solo]

Try not to cry as I lie in the rain
Feel like walking through walls just to get back home again
I saw you last night and I'll see you again
Maybe you're trying to drive me insane

F           Am        Dm                  C           Bb
I've had enough, if I don't come back for more that's tough

             F           C       C7
'Cos I can't take it any more
I'm going home where I can be alone, because
I just can't stand it, no I can't stand it
No I can't stand it any longer

OUTRO - [8 bars as per intro with no last chord]

Goodnight Terry,  Goodnight Rhoda
