Or let your mind leave your body.

It's pitch black in bed every night:

You set the clock right for the morning alarm.

Don't know a thing about tapping in on wires.

I fill the room with people but still you sit empty,

Stuck like putty.

I tried to teach you good rock'n'roll,
Fm-5
But you couldn't get over the old one-two,
D7 G
And nevertheless, you'll do.
D7 G
Nevertheless, you'll do.
D7 F G
Nevertheless, I do.
You're getting up in the morning and put on your suit
For the office, and leave me.
You come home all pushed and pulled,
At six-thirty in the evening.
The television, it takes you away
To a picture-world where I have no say in it.
I fill the room with people
but still you sit empty,
Stuck like putty.
I tried to teach you good rock'n'roll,
But you couldn't get over the old one-two,
And nevertheless, you'll do.
Nevertheless, you'll do.
D7 F G C
Nevertheless, I do.
