Teach me how to be real and

Show me how to understand

Don't let me swallow

And what's it like to be alive

Toss me a line
[Chorus]
F G C
Don't pick me up off the ground
E
I'll be fine in a lost and found
F G Am
Just when I start to force a smile
Bb Am
Just when I'm laughing all the while
F G
I've been faking
Am C C F G
Playing dead

You could be the sunshine and

Yeah you'd be so in demand

Don't pick me up off the ground
