INTRO (E LAadd9 MI LA7)
VERSE
MI LAadd9
how sick of me
MI
must you be
LA
by now
MI LAadd9
while you're standing just outside
MI LA7
of what your pride will allow
MI LAadd9
always reaching into yourself
MI LA
to find a new way to understand me
MI LAadd9
when i'm sure that there's no one else
MI
in the world
LA7
who could withstand me
CHORUS
MI LAadd9
the first person in your life
MI FA#
to ever really matter
MI
is saying the last thing
FA# MI
that you want to hear
FA#
and you are listening hard
LA
through the splintering shards
FA#
of your life as it shatters
LA7
and you're standing firm
FA#
and you're staying close
MI
and you're seeing clear
2ND VERSE (Same as the first)
i took to the stage
with my outrage
in the bad old days
when you were the make-me-mad guy
but the songs
they come out more slowly
now that i am the bad guy
and i say, i'm sorry i'm so crazy
I am astounded by your patience
and you say, believe it or not, baby
the joy you bring me
still outweighs it
CHORUS
the first person in your life
to ever really matter
is saying the last thing
that you want to hear
and you are listening hard
through the splintering shards
of your life as it shatters
and you're standing firm
and you're staying close
and you're seeing clear
***(Insert instrumental-y bit here...
I like to go F#* Am E E x2)***
MI LAadd9
how sick of me
MI
must you be
LA7
by now?
(Slow down to finish on E)
