G Em C G
Lately i've been goin to the places we used to go
G Em C G
for a long time I didnt cause it hurt me so
G Em C D
now i'm feelin kind of good that I can go by myself
G Em C G
but baby come take me off the shelf
G Em
dont you know, dont you know
C D
I can go by myself?
G Em C G
but baby come take me off the shelf
C
you don't know that i've been on the shelf
Am
because even so ive found strength and health
C
the love in my heart shines for itself
Am
but baby come take me off the shelf
G Em C G
you got so much love that you aint been showin
G Em C G
it hurts you too baby when you dont
G Em C D
now I got this love, I love the world by myself
G Em C G
but baby come take Jonathan off his shelf
G Em C D
God knows, God knows I love people by myself
G Em C G
but baby come take my heart off the shelf
C
well you might not know your friend Jonathan has been on the shelf
Am
that because even so I've found strength and health
C
and the love in my heart can speak for itself
Am
but I still say baby come take me off the shelf
G Em C G
now the flame is still a flame that you left for dead
G Em C G
it's time to relight the light that's been neglect-e-ted
G Em C D
my heart is still a glow darlin all by itself
G Em C G
but baby come take me off that shelf
G Em C D
God knows that Jonathan loves the world all by himself
G Em C G
but baby come take me off the shelf
(I'm Jonathan I say good night)

the love in my heart shines for itself
but baby come take me off the shelf
you got so much love that you aint been showin
it hurts you too baby when you dont
now I got this love, I love the world by myself
but baby come take Jonathan off his shelf
God knows, God knows I love people by myself
but baby come take my heart off the shelf
well you might not know your friend Jonathan has been on the shelf
