Darlin' Commit Me
Steve Earle

G
Darlin' I'm beggin' down on my knees
                     D     G 
Darlin' I'm pleading insanity
G
You sign the papers, I'll gladly go
                    D                  G
Darlin' commit me - I can't take it no more

G
I'd be so happy, you would be too
                        D               G
You'd have my money and I'd have my own room
G
Go call the judge girl, lord there's no need to wait
G                 D               G
Darlin' commit me before it's too late
 
               C         C7             A
And it'd be so peaceful, and it'd be so quiet
         G                 D              G
Yeah, no clock to punch no time no day no night
            C              C7        A
No books or bibles, and no checks to bounce
     D
Just four walls, rubber walls, and no way out
G
So, lock up my body, set my soul free
G                     D           G
Darlin' commit me and swallow the key

BREAK ON CHORUS

G
I know you'll miss me, but no need to grieve
G                          D            G
You'll get reports and the baskets I'll weave
G
I said and I meant girl, people talk so you know
G                     D           G 
Darlin' commit me and no one will know
 
              C        C7               A
Don't work no longer - I'm in the loony bin
     G                       D                 G
Yeah just play Parcheesi all day with my loony friends
      C                          C7            A                      
Won't have to comb my hair girl, won't have to shave
                                            D
Won't have to race the guy next door to see who's the first one in his grave

             G                
Yeah now I'm schizophrenic, lord I'm psychotic too
G                          D             G
Darlin' commit me it's the least you can do
G                          D             G 
Darlin' commit me it's the least you can do
