HOW I ENDED UP HERE - Jason Gray
(TUNING C, G, C, F, A, D) - 6/8 time signature
INTRO - {finger picked} A AC# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm
A DC A
There's something I'd like to confess
F#m7 AD DC
At the risk of exposing my faults
Bm A F#m AD
But I'm starting to find that most of the time
DC F#m E
I just don't like people at all
A DC A
When I saw you five minutes ago
F#m AD DC
I was afraid you might talk off my ear
Bm A F#m AD
I panicked inside and decided to hide
DC E A Asus4 A G#m
And that's how I ended up here
F#m F#mF
Crouching behind the live lobster tank
Asus2D Asus2C#
Hoping you'd just pass me by, oh...
DC E F#m AD
That's how I ended up here
DC E A AC# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm
That's how I ended up here
A DC A
Oh how I wish I could say
F#m7 AD DC
It's my first time to hide in this spot
Bm A F#m AD
But with all of the people I try to avoid
DC F#m E
I find myself down here a lot
{stop time} * A DC A
I mean, just look at these guys in the tank
F#m AD DC * {end stop time}
With the red rubber bands 'round their arms
Bm A F#m AD
If they don't open up and just keep to themselves
DC E A Asus4 A G#m
They won't do anyone harm
F#m F#mF
So I screen my calls, don't answer the door
AD Asus2C#
Sometimes wish I could disappear,
DC E F#m AD
oh...that's how I ended up here
DC E
That's how I ended up ..
{strummed}
A Bm
Building a wall so no one could bother me
AC# D
Living my life in isolation
A Bm
Opening up to only those close to me
AC# D
Nobody's close to me, what have I done?
{this part is finger picked again}
BREAK A AC# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm
A AC# DIV F#mIX EVII G#dim
A DC A
See, I really want to be known
F#m7 AD DC
But I'm not quite as strong as the fear
Bm A F#m AD
That you won't understand the fool that I am
DC E F#m AD
And that's how I ended up here
DC E F#m AD
That's how I ended up here
DC E A AC# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm
That's how I ended up here
