A A 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
I don't want to talk about it to you

The cold hard truth

that you'll see right to

A A 
 
G G 
 
I'm just a basket case without you

Verse 2
A A 
 
He's not a magic man
G G 
 
D D 
 
or a perfect fit
A A 
 
But had a  steady hand
G G 
 
D D 
 
and I got used to it
A A 
 
And a glass cage heart
Bm Bm 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
and invited me in

A A 
 
And now I'm just a basket case
G G 
 
without him

I don't say much
G G 
 
D D 
 
and it'll stay that way
A A 
 
You got a  steel train touch
G G 
 
D D 
 
and I'm just a track you lay
A A 
 
So I'll stay right here

G G 
 
Em Em 
 
underneath you
D D 
 
A A 
 
I'm just a basket case and
G G 
 
that's what we do

Chorus 2
D D 
 
G G 
 
You're begging for the truth

D D 
 
So I'm saying it to you
G G 
 
I've been saving your place
Gm Gm 
 
And what good does it do?
D D 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
Now I'm just a basket case

Won't somebody come on in
and tug at my seams?
A A 
 
Oh, send your armies in
of robbers and thieves

A A 
 
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
want it anymore

Chorus 3

I've been saving your place

And what good does it do?

Now I'm just a basket case

A A 
 
G G 
 
Now I'm just a basket case

Now I'm just a basket case

Now I'm just a basket case
