(Intro)
C Em F Em G
(Verse 1)
C
Well I'm battered down and burt out
Em
like a half lit cigarette
F
And I'm passed out on the floor
Em G
And I'm thinkn' am I happy yet
C
well I filmed in black and white
Em
But you remember me in colors
F
singing songs about my heartaches
Em G
and my jelousy of others
(pre-chorus)
Am
well its hard to explain it and
F
hard to contain it,
Am
its hard to explain how it
G
feels
(chorus)
G (cont. from prechorus) C
Till theres someone to cry about,
G
someone to fight it out
Am G
Someone to say your the reason they breathe
C
Till there's someone your crazed about
G
the one you can't live without
Dm G
Someone to say your the reason they breathe
(verse 2)
Well I'm feeling kinda lonely
Cause I lost my train of thought
Tried to run away from thinking
but it only got me caught
Well I'm as open as a rose
when summers air can spare no rain
in this drought I'm almost dead
and in the sun I'm rather plain
(pre-chorus 2)
Am
well does it help you to cling to
C add9
this shell you've turned into
Am G
i wish the best and the worst
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
F G
F
Well i fumble back and forth and try to find my words
G
But theres no couple or couplet that you haven't heard
F
If i try a little harder, try some workn' it out
G
I think I fall on my face on my way out
F
try to kiss you baby, tell you everything on my mind
G
try to spit out my my heart when I go looking behind
F
if theres something worth saying
Am (can use Dm either way sounds good)
better go and say it now
G
I'm getting out of this
through with this
done with this
moving this
repeat the chorus but with this chord progression
C G Am G
Am G# D G
