[Verse 1]
Am Dm E F
Lately
Am Dm E F
I've been thinking 'bout my state of affairs
Am Dm E F
I feel
Am Dm E F
Another situation's in the air
[Intro Lick]
Am Dm E F x2
Am Dm E F
Lately
Am Dm E F
I've been holding down my dying breath
Am Dm E F
I feel
Am Dm E F
That a nervous breakdown’s all I have left
[Chorus 1]
C Bb A G F G
But you know it can't last very long
G C
And there's got to be some way
Bb A G
To pull myself out of the grave
C Bb A G F G
That I've dug...yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
Am Dm E F
Lately
Am Dm E F
I've felt something clinging to my back
Am Dm E F
I think
Am Dm E F
That this little monkey should cut me some slack
[Intro Lick]
Am Dm E F x2
Am Dm E F
Lately
Am Dm E F
I've been coming down with a strange disease
Am Dm E F
I feel
Am Dm E F
That a dose of hope is the right remedy
[Chorus 2]
C Bb A G F G
But you know it can't last very long
G C
And there's got to be some way
Bb A G
To pull myself out of the grave
C Bb A G F G
That I've dug...yeah yeah
[Bridge]
Dm C Am
On and on from now on
G
I'll let myself down
Dm C Am
I've learned to take the bread as comes
G
Silently without trouble
Dm C Am
Now I've come down to take my place
G
With the human race so low
Dm C Am G F E F E F
It's not how high that I fly, but I far I have to fall..
[Outro]
Am Dm E F x2
Am Dm E F
Lately...
Am Dm E F
Lately..yeah yeah
