[Verse 1]
Amaj7 E B7 F#m
I'm not knocking your want to carry that home
Amaj7 E B7 F#m
Took it with you when you moved and got it broke
Amaj7 E B7 F#m
Found the pieces, we counted them all alone
Amaj7 E B7 F#m
Didn't add up, forgot to carry a zero
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Amaj7 E B7 F#m
I can't be your apologist very long
Amaj7 E B7 F#m
I'm surprised that you'd want to carry that on
Amaj7 E B7 F#m
Count your blemishes you can't they're all gone
Amaj7 E B7 F#m
I can't see your response putting them back on
Amaj7 E
Like they're waiting for your guard to fall
B7 F#m
So they can see it all
Amaj7
And you're so occupied with what
E B7
other persons are occupied with
F#m
And vice versa
[Verse 3]
Amaj7 E B7
So you've become what you thought was dumb
F#m
A fraction of the sum
Amaj7 E
Yeah you've become, yeah you have become,
B7
A fraction of the sum
F#m
the middle and the front
Amaj7
And now it's coming back
E
hasn't come too far
Amaj7
I was trying to help but
E
I guess I pushed too hard
Amaj7
And now we can't even touch it
E
'fraid it'll fall apart
