Verse 1:
Bbmaj7
Sorry, sorry I don't think that I
   Gm7
Can make it to the plans we made
             Ebmaj7
Something came up, I'm bogged down

Got so much work that I just found
  Eb7
a trip outside I can't allow
Bbmaj7
Maybe, maybe if I planned ahead
     Gm7
I'd feel a little more at ease
Ebmaj7
When I talk about my plans and why

I can't come out tonight
  Eb7
I laugh when I fall for my own lies...

Chorus:
                Bbmaj7
I can't leave my room (I can't leave my room)
              Gm7
I've got so many things I've gotta do
Ebmaj7
Checklist on the wall (The wall)
  Eb7
Oh you seem rather tall
                 Bbmaj7
I can't leave my room (I can't leave my room)
          Gm7
I made a daily schedule yesterday
          Eb7
Even if I missed the first thing on the list
        Ebmaj7
And the hundred today got-to-do bits
Eb7
I'm sure tomorrow's the day
                   Bbmaj7
I can't leave my room...

Instrumental: Bbmaj7 Gm7 Ebmaj7 Eb7

Verse 2:
Bbmaj7
You know, you know that I'm gonna try
      Gm7
But it seems that I've wasted time
     Ebmaj7
See I lack in planning expertise

But excel in procrastinating
Eb7
It's all on me
Bbmaj7
Please don't think that I don't care at all
    Gm7
If I could I'd be out that door
     Ebmaj7
But you know that I've gotta stay

'Cause I've got too much on my plate
Eb7
I said that yesterday...

Chorus:
                Bbmaj7
I can't leave my room (I can't leave my room)
              Gm7
I've got so many things I've gotta do
Ebmaj7
Checklist on the wall (The wall)
  Eb7
Oh you seem rather tall
                 Bbmaj7
I can't leave my room (I can't leave my room)
          Gm7
I made a daily schedule yesterday
          Eb7
Even if I missed the first thing on the list
        Ebmaj7
And the hundred today got-to-do bits
Eb7
I'm sure tomorrow's the day
                   Bbmaj7
I can't leave my room...
                   Gm7
I swear I swear I can't leave my room
      Ebmaj7
Lah dah dee dah (Lah dah dee dah)

Lah dah dee dah (Lah dah dee dah)
Eb7
Oh oh
