[Em]
[D]I

[Verse 1]
[Em]poured my first Belvedere,
it didn't hurt me none
[A]I rea[B]lized the danger
on the night of 7th one
[Em]I sat in rooms, I heard his voice,
the [E]fi nalists saw the light
[A]I kic[B]ked off all the traces,
drew a great big breath of [Em]life
I was just a number on the clock
from 9 to 5
[A]Rushing[B] through the madness,
I was dayin' with my life
[Em]I had a dream, I had a plan
a long, long time [A]ago
Resigned [B]myself to freedom
when I gave it to the [Em]Lord
Now there's one less [E]monkey
[D]hangin' on my back
I [G]shook it off, I cut it loose,
and that's [A]5, 4, 3, 2
[Em]One less monkey [D]that I have to feed
I [G]feel so much lighter now,
there's [A]one less [B]monkey on
[Em]me[A][Em][D][A][Em][A][Em]
[D]I did[Em]n't know in 63
life would take [E]a twist
[A]My heart got[B] broke,
my self -esteem got jumbled with each [Em]kiss
I gave away things precious,
I had fallen for the lie
[A]And the[B]n I met the perfect man
who chose someone as I
[Em]Now there's one less monke[E]y
[D]hanging on my back
I [G]shook it off, I cut it loose,
and that's [A]five, four, [D]three, [Em]two
One last monkey [D]that I have to feed
I [G]feel so much lighter now
There's [A]one last [B]monkey on [Em]me[A][B]
[Em]There's a jungle full [A]of monkeys[Em]
That would love to [A]weigh me down
But I [B]found myself a better way
A monkey and a round now
Now there's [Em]one less monkey
[D]hanging on my back
[G]Shook it up, cut it loose
and that's [A]five, four, three, [Em]two
One less monkey [D]that I have to feed
I [G]feel so much lighter now
There's [A]one less [B]monkey, oh
[E]One less monkey [Em]hanging [D]on my back
[G]Shook it up, cut it loose
and that's [A]five, four, three, two
[Em]There's less [E]monkey [D]that I have to feed
I [G]feel so much lighter now
[A]Life is so much brighter now
I [G]feel so much higher now
There's [A]one less [B]monkey
on [Em]me[A]
[Em][A][Em][A]
