Hey mister, mister, you can have my day
F
But you better leave my nights alone
    Bb                      Am        C        F
I'm leaving in the evening, then I'll be goin' home
F
Hey mister, mister you can have me pay
                       Dm
But I'm never yours to own
Bm               F
Only I, it's the time when I want it
Bm                            F
And only I, so leave my night alone

[Verse 1]
F
I put a face on to wear through the day
       Dm
It's a heavy uniform hanging on me
Dm                               F
But here I am to do what I have to
F
Noddin' my head, hummin' the drum
                  Dm
Going through the motion
Dm
Moving, carry on
Dm                                            F
Until the sundown calls the time that I'll be gone
Bm               F
Only I, it's the night when I want it
Bm                      F
And only I never let it go
Bm              F
Only I, it's my time and I want it
Gm           C
Only mine to own

[Chorus]
F
Hey mister, mister, you can have my day
F
But you better leave my nights alone
    Bb                      Am        C        F
I'm leaving in the evening, then I'll be goin' home
F
Hey mister, mister you can have my pay
                       Dm
But I'm never yours to own
     Bb                         Am         C       F
I'll give you every day but the nights are just my own

[Verse 2]
F
You can tell me what to say, tell me what to do
        Dm
Pull me any way that you want to
Dm                                        F
But you won't ever make me work the night through
F
'Cause I've got places to go, people to see
            Dm                                                                             F
Got my mind set on the sunset to separate me from this grindstone, carving out my way back home
Bb      F       Bb      F
Only I, only I, only I, in the night is when I want it
Bb      F          Gm             C
Only I, only I, so leave my night alone

[Chorus]
F
Hey mister, mister, you can have my day
F                              Dm
But you better leave my nights alone
    Bb                      Am        C        F
I'm leaving in the evening, then I'll be goin' home
F
Hey mister, mister you can have me pay
                       Dm
But I'm never yours to own
     Bb                         Am         C       F
I'll give you every day but the nights are just my own

[Bridge]
        Bm              F               Bm          F
You can tie me up for a moment and I'll earn what I owe
           Bm                          C
You can't tie me up, you better let me go

[Chorus]
F
Hey mister, mister, you can have my day
F                              Dm           Gm     F   Gm
But you better leave my nights alo-o-o-one, who-a-a-a, whoa-a-a-
F
Hey mister, mister you can have me pay
F                      Dm            Gm     F   Gm     F   Gm     F     C   Gm  F
But I'm never yours to o-o-o-o-own, who-a-a-a, whoa-a-a-a, who-a-a-a, who-a-a-a-a
