I had a monkey, he was my only friend

In the morning makes me pancakes but he eats bananas instead
[Pre-chorus 1]

I should have known this wouldn’t last too long

Friendships are hard when there’s no dialogue

I know I should be trying to stay strong

But I know I’ve never felt worse since you’ve gone
[Chorus 1]
Eb9 Bb F
How could you do this to me
Eb9 Bb F
Without you I’m incomplete
Dm Bb F
I miss holding your head as you drift off to sleep
Dm Bb F
Won’t you come home ‘cause I can’t fill this hole in my tree

‘Cause you deserve to be with monkeys like you
