Dm     E F
Oh yeah, they call me the recluse
                              Dm     E
Cause I don't go outside for nothing
    F                               Dm   E F
No one is gonna make me leave this room
                           Dm     E    F
Oh no, they can't tell me nothing, no way


[Verse 1]
                      Am  C F
You see I'm being a fool
                    Am         C     F
It gets so I don't care about being cool
              Am   C F
What's it to you?
                             Am            C         F
If I just stay here in this hole that I'm boarded into

[Hook]
                           Dm     E F
Oh yeah, they call me the recluse
                              Dm     E
Cause I don't go outside for nothing
    F                               Dm   E F
No one is gonna make me leave this room
                           Dm     E    F
Oh no, they can't tell me nothing, no way


[Verse 2]
                             Am  C F
You see, I ain't thinking clear
                              Am           C     F
It gets so I don't know I'm feeling sorry for myself
                          Am  C F
Who asked you to interfere?
                                      Am         C      F
How would you really know what is or isn't good for my health?
                           Am   C F
Why don't you leave me alone?
                   Am            C        F
I ain't hurting nobody, why you up in my face?
                 Am  C F
Get up out my soul
                           Am             C         F
Why can't you just let me get through my time this way?


[Hook]
                           Dm     E F
Oh yeah, they call me the recluse
                              Dm     E
Cause I don't go outside for nothing
    F                               Dm   E F
No one is gonna make me leave this room
                           Dm     E    F
Oh no, they can't tell me nothing, no way


[Verse 3]
Am                  C                      F
 Sitting here by myself, looking mad at myself

 Thinking I don't wanna go out there
Am                C                     F
 I don't need no help, looking after myself

 I got everything I need right here
Am                     C 
 I ain't trying to impress anyone
          F
 In this cesspit jail, I just don't care
Am                      C
 I ain't gotta smell fresh for no woman
          F
 So I'm blessed not washing my skin or my hair
           Am                           C
 They can call me a recluse they ain't gonna remove
            F
 Or cut me loose from this place, I'm locked in hiding
Am                     C 
 Like a rock, I won't move cause you know
               F
 I've gotten used to the space that I'm occupying
Am                       C                      F
 There really ain't anything out there but the wind

 They'd enjoy more than see me crying
Am                  C                        F
 So I do it in my room where none of these goons can see me

 Though I know they've been trying
Dm        E                            F
 I ain't cut out for this shit, I'm a coward I admit

 I've never been no big ting
Dm                                E 
 The thought of killing makes me sick
    F
 But I don't wanna be no victim, no way, not Strickland
Dm                     E              F
 So I just stay in my cell like I'm bricked in

 And hope that stops me from getting kicked in
Dm                         E 
 Even if it earns me this nickname in prison


[Hook]
                           Dm     E F
Oh yeah, they call me the recluse
                              Dm     E
Cause I don't go outside for nothing
    F                               Dm   E F
No one is gonna make me leave this room
                           Dm     E    F
Oh no, they can't tell me nothing, no way
