[Verse 1]
C F C
I got rusted out and I could not be found
C C/B Am G F G
All my hammers hardened up my one sustain is down
C F C
My head's dull and ringing hard worn on the floor
C C/B Am G F G C
I may never play again but I'll be played no more
[Chorus]
F C
By the hunger by the throat
F C C/B
can you hear me in my sour note?
Am F C Em
With a crooked neck I sing
C C/B Am G
If I don't sound to you beautiful
F G C
will you even hear a thing?
[Interlude]
C C/B Am G F G C
[Verse 2 ]
C F C
I'm strung out in some anger; I'm hung up on the wall
C C/B Am G F G
By my own devices but I swear it's not my fault
C F C
Keys all brown and broken and words all out of wit
C C/B Am G F G C
Locked and left unspoken because these keys no longer fit
[Chorus 2]
F C
Still I hunger; yes I hope
F C C/B
You can find me in this little song I wrote
Am F C Em
With a bad case and nothing new
C C/B Am G F G C
Oh hold me like you love me still and I will play for you
C C/B Am G F G C
Hold me like a brand-new thing and I'll believe it's true.
C F C
I got rusted out and I could not be found
C C/B Am G F G
All my hammers hardened up my one sustain is down
C F C
My head's dull and ringing hard worn on the floor
C C/B Am G F G C
I may never play again but I'll be played no more
[Chorus]
F C
By the hunger by the throat
F C C/B
can you hear me in my sour note?
Am F C Em
With a crooked neck I sing
C C/B Am G
If I don't sound to you beautiful
F G C
will you even hear a thing?
[Interlude]
