Verse 1
(G major) I can't be (C major) free from (D major) her,
and (G major) there's nothing I (C major) can
do (D major) but (C major) tie my (E major) shoe. (Bsus4) (B major)
(G major) Maybe I told (C major) her (D major) so,
and (G major) there's no (C major) letting go (D major)
and (C major) freeze my (E major) brain. (Bsus4) (B major)
(G major) First chance had (C major) ar (D major) rived
Maybe (G major) a (C major) piece of (D major) pie and (C major) peace
of (E major) mind (Bsus4) (B major) (E major) (Bsus4) (B major)
(C major) Traveled down a lonely (D major) road
And I (G major) wanna, wanna, wanna make you (E minor) mine
(G major) Maybe (C major) my heart was lov (D major) ing me so
And I'm (G major) working, working,
working overtime (B major)
(E minor) (G major) But (C major) you had me
right (D major) from the start
You were so very, (G major) very, very,
very kind (E minor) (G major) (C major) (B major) (E flatdim)
(G major) You were so (C major) beautiful,
(D major) I (G major) was such (C major) a (D major) fool,
I can't (C major) for (E major) get (Bsus4) (B major)
(G major) Never a (C major) sadder (D major) day,
(G major) and I'll be (C major) on my (D major) way,
oh (C major) how I (E major) dream (Bsus4) (B major)
(G major) No other love (C major) had (D major) I,
(G major) I'll never stop (C major) to cry (D major) my
tragedy (C major) (E major) (Bsus4) (B major) (E major) (B major)
I (C major) was just a rejec (D major) ted unknown
Struggling artist (G major) from the
house of Franken (E minor) stein
(G major) Looking (C major) for the es (D major) cape
from the hor (G major) ror of the daily grind (E minor) (G major)
Lost (C major) in the twilight (D major) zone,
leaving (G major) the future far be (D major) hind
(E minor) (C major) And I really must (D major) feel love,
there's (G major) nothing left anymore, (E minor)
don't (C major) you (B major) know that (E flatdim) it's
(G major) so? (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (C major) (E major) (Bsus4) (B major) (E major) (B major)
(C major) I don't seem to (D major) make much sense,
like (G major) a story that's already writ (E minor) ten
(G major) If (C major) somebody else is fine,
(D major) and there's really nowhere to
hide (G major) from the truth (E minor) (G major)
And (C major) I love you anyway,
like rain falling (D major) upon the earth,
and there's really (G major) nothing to do,
and (E minor) my mind keeps drawing blank (G major) s
(C major) (B major) (G major) I can't be (C major) free from (D major) her,
(G major) and there's nothing I (C major)
can do (D major) but (C major) tie my (E major) shoes
