C C/B Am7 C/B
I took my love and I took it down
C C/B Am7 C/B
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
C C/B Am7 C/B
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
C C/B Am7 C/B
Until the landslide brought me down
C C/B Am7 C/B
Oh mirror in the sky What is love
C C/B Am7 C/B
Can the child within my heart rise above
C C/B Am7 C/B
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
C C/B Am7 C/B
Can I handle the seasons of my life

So darlin', darlin', stand by me / Oh, stand by me

Friday night I trashed your party Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
Bm G E A
I was only having fun wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
VERSE 2 I was stranded in the combat zone, I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive, but I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

VERSE 3 Oh, remember how I found you there Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man, I said Take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while
Verse 4 Now think of all the years you tried to Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way

Now that I'm with you
With you (x3)
Ha, Ha, ahh
Now that I'm with you
You speak and it's like a song
And just like that all my walls come down
It's like a private joke just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me
Cause I start thinking about it,
I almost forgot what it was like to know what love feels like,
Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you
With you (x3)
Ha, Ha, ahhh
Come and take me
Love you save me
Like nobody else
Now I can be myself
With you,
I can let my hair down

With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful

Intro
C G Am F x2
C G
I walked to the door with you, the air was cold
Am F
But something about it felt like home somehow, and I,
C G
Left my scarf there at your sisters house
Am F-once
And you still got it, in your drawer, even now
C G Am F
C G
Oh your sweet dispositon and my wide eyed gaze
Am F
We're singing in the car getting lost upstate
C G
The autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place
Am F
And I can picture it after all these days
C G
And I know it's long gone and, and magics not here no more
Am G F G Am G
And I might be okay but I'm not fine at all
C G
Cause there we are again on that little town street
Am F
You almost ran the red cause you were lookin' over at me
C G Am F
Wind in my hair, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G
Photo album on the counter your cheeks were turing red
Am F
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin size bed
C G
And your mothers telling stories 'bout you on a t-ball team
Am F
You tell me about your past thinkin' your future was me
C G
And I know it's long gone and it was nothing else I could do
Am G F G Am G
And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed too
C G
Cause here we are again in the middle of the night
Am F
We dance around the kitchen in the refrigerator light
C G Am F
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G Am F G
C G
And maybe we got lost in translation maybe I asked for too much
Am F
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up
C G Am F
Running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G
Hey you call me up again just to break me like a promise
Am F
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
C G
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lyin' here
Am F C G Am F
Cause I remember it all all all too well
C G
Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it
Am F
I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still tryin' to find it
C G
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Am F
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
C G
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
Am F
Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
C G Am F
You cant get rid of it cause you remember it all too well yeah
C G
Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Am F
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
C G Am F
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
C G
Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it oh
Am F
Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all
C G Am F
It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
Verse 1: C Am F C or D Bm G D
If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end, I'll always be there.
And when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around, and I'll be there.
Chorus: C Am F C G C or D Bm G D A D
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
Verse 2: C Am F C
When your day is through, and so is your temper,
You know what to do, I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's intended.
These words just come out, with no gripe to bear.
Chorus: C Am F C G C
Chorus 2: C Am F C G C
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)

And if I had to walk the world, that make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.

Sittin here stuck on stupid, tryna figure out
When, what, and how I'mma let this come out of my mouth
Said it ain't gon' be easy
But I need to stop thinkin', contemplatin'
Be a man and get it over with (over with)
I'm ridin' in my whip
Racin' to her place
Talkin' to myself
Preparin' to tell her to her face
She open up the door and didn't want to come near me
I said one second baby please hear me
[Chorus]
[Breakdown](Chords same as chorus)
This by far is the hardest thing I think I've ever had to do
To tell you, the woman I love
That I'm having a baby by a woman that I barely even know
I hope you can accept the fact that I'm man enough to tell you this
And hopefully you'll give me another chance
This ain't about my career
This ain't about my life
It's about us
Please
C F G C
My baby makes me proud. Lord, don't she make me proud
C F G
She never makes a scene by hangin' all over me in crowd
C F G C
Cause people like to talk. Lord, how they love to talk
C Am F G C
But when they turn out the lights I know she'll be leavin' with me
CHORUS-

[Verse 1]
Em D6/9
On the first part of the journey
Em D6/9
I was looking at all the life
Em D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D6/9
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
Em D6/9
And the sky with no clouds
Em D6/9
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
Em D6/9
But the air was full of sound
[Chorus]
Em9 Dmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
Em9 Dmaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 2]
Em D6/9
After two days in the desert sun
Em D6/9
My skin began to turn red
Em D6/9
After three days in the desert fun
Em D6/9
I was looking at a river bed
Em D6/9
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Em D6/9
Made me sad to think it was dead
[Chorus]
Em9 Dmaj9
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain
Em9 Dmaj9
In the desert you can remember your name
Em9 Dmaj9
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
Em9 Dmaj9
La, la, la lala la la la, la, la
[Verse 3]
Em D6/9
After nine days I let the horse run free
Em D6/9
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
Em D6/9
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
Em D6/9
There were sand and hills and rings
Em D6/9
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
Em D6/9
And a perfect disguise above
Em D6/9
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
Em D6/9
But the humans will give no love
[Chorus]
Em9 Dmaj9
You see, I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
Em9 Dmaj9
It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert you can remember your name

|B |B |E |B 2x
Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play because I played them too
[Pre-chorus]
|E |B |E |B |E |B G#m |C#m |F#
But I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
When that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showing you the door
[Chorus]
|B |B |B |B
Cause I've got to have faith
I've got to have faith
Because I've got to have faith, faith, faith
I've got to have faith, faith, faith
[Verse 2]
|B |B |E |B 2x
Baby I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules
[Pre-chorus]
|E |B |E |B |E |B G#m |C#m |F#
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider my foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for something more

Cause I've got to have faith
I've got to have faith

VERSE 1-
Em D
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
Am C
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
Em D
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
Am C
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
Em D
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
Am C
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
Em D
He's chokin' how, everybody's chokin' now
Am C
The clock's run out, times up, over, blaw!
Em D
Snap, back to reality, oh, there goes gravity
Am C Em
Oh, there goes Rabbit he choked, he's so mad but he won't
D Am
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he knows
C Em
His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dope
D Am
He knows that but he's broke, he so stagnant he knows
C
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Em C
Back to the lab again, yo
Am
This whole rhapsody better go capture this moment
C
And hope it don't pass him (X3)
CHORUS-

The moment, you own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Em D
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo X2

VERSE 2-
Em D
His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
Am C
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
Em D Am
As we move toward a new world order, a normal life is boring
C Em
But superstardom's close to post mortem
D Am
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
C Em
He blows it's all over, these h**s is all on him
D Am C
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter lonely roads
Em D
God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father
Am C
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
Em D
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
Am C
These h**s don't want him no mo', he's cold product
Em D
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
Am C Em
He nose dove and sold nada, so the soap opera is told it unfolds
D Am
I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on
C
Da da dum, da dum da da da da
CHORUS
Em,D
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothaf****n' roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and stepped, writin' the next cipher
Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these *** damn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin' on and too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothaf****n' option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot, so here I go it's my shot
Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
CHORUS

Spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair.
I throwed out my shoulder, but I won her that Teddy Bear.
She's got me saying,"Sugar Pie, Honey, Darlin', and Dear."
I ain't seen the Braves play a game all year.
I’m gonna get fired, if I don't get some sleep.
My long lost buddies say I'm gettin' in too deep.
[CHORUS] C F G C
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.
I try, so hard, I can't rise above it
Don't know what it is, about that little gal's lovin'
But I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.

My momma and daddy tried to teach me courtesy.
But it never sank in,'til that girl got a hold of me.

Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt.
It is so big. [scoff] She looks like,
one of those rap guys' girlfriends.
But, you know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff*
They only talk to her, because,
she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?
[bass ostinato]
I mean, her butt, is just so big.
I can't believe it's just so round, it's like,
out there, I mean - gross. Look!
She's just so ... black!

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got makes me so horny
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupie
I've seen them dancin'
To hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!

I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Knock-kneeded bimbos walkin' like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sisters, I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *fuck*
Till the break of dawn
Baby got it goin' on
A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna roll in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!

But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda

Unless you've got buns, hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole dames in the magazines-
You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sister, I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And I pull up quick to get wit 'em
So ladies, if the butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!
D Bm7 Em7 A7
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light F#7 B7 E7 A
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
D Bm7 Em7 A7
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay F#7 Bm / D9
Next year all our troubles will be miles away
Gmaj7 Gm6 F#m Fdim7
Once again as in olden days
Em A7 Dmaj7
Happy golden days of yore
Bm C#7 F#m B7
Faithful friends who were dear to us
A7 E7 Em7 A7
Will be near to us once more
D Bm7 Em7 A7
Someday soon we all will be together
If the Fates allow F#7 Bm D D9
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
Gmaj7 / Em7 A
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
Gmaj7 / Em7 A / D (D+ D D+ )
Have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

2) She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you.
She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe.
And she'll take what you give her as long it's free.
She steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me.
CHORUS
3) And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden.
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding.
But she brings out the best and the worst you can be.
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a women to me.
CHORUS
4) She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel.
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool.
But she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree.
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you,
but she's always a woman to me.

I know you still think about the times we had
I say f-ck that that you think you found
And since you picked up I know hes not around
Im just sayin, you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
Im just sayin you could do better
And Ill start hatin, only if you make me
I think Im addicted to naked pictures
And sittin talkin bout es
that we almost had
I dont think Im concious of making monsters
Outta the women that I sponsor til it all goes bad
But shit its all good
We threw a party, yeh we threw a party
es came over, yeh, we threw a party
I was just calling cause they were just leaving
Talk to me please, dont have much to believe in
I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women thats living off me
Paid for their flights and hotels Im ashamed
Bet that you know them, I wont say no names
After a while girl they all seem the same
Ive had sex four times this week Ill explain
Having a hard time adjusting to fame
Sprite in that mixture, Ive been talking crazy girl
Im lucky that you picked up
Lucky that you stayed on
I need someone to put this weight on
Im just sayin, you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
Im just sayin you could do better
And Ill start hatin, only if you make me
Just throw up while I hold your hair back
Her white friend said you s crazy
I hope no-one heard that
I hope no-one heard that
Cause if they did, we gon be in some trouble

Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard

Your rolled up sleeves in your skull t-shirt
Gm
You say, What did you do with him today?
A7 Dm
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray
Gm
Cause you're my fella, my guy

Hand me your stella and fly

You tear men down like Roger Moore
Dm Am E7 Am
I cheated myself like I knew I would
Dm Am E7 Am
I told ya I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
Dm Gm
Upstairs in bed with my ex boy
A7 Dm
He's in a place but I can't get joy
Gm
Thinking of you in the final throws
A7 Dm
This is when my buzzer goes
Gm
Run out to meet your chips and pitta
E7
You say, When we're married, cause you're not bitter
F
There'll be none of him no more
E7 A7
I cried for you on the kitchen floor
Dm Am E7 Am
I cheated myself like I knew I would
Dm Am E7 Am
I told ya I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
Dm Gm
Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
A7 Dm
We're like how we were again
Gm
I'm in the tub, you on the seat
A7 Dm
Lick your lips as I soak my feet
Gm
Then you notice little carpet burn
E7
My stomach drops and my guts churn
F
You shrug and it's the worst
E7 A7
To truly stuck the knife in first
Dm Am E7 Am
I cheated myself like I knew I would
Dm Am E7 Am
I told ya I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
Dm Am E7 Am
I cheated myself like I knew I would
Dm Am E7 Am
I told ya I was trouble, you know that I'm no good

Hey, tell me if I'm crazy
But when you come around, round
It's kind of amazing
My head goes through clouds
Above the rain and I'm never coming down down
Now that you saved me, baby
That stupid party talked outside
Walked to your place stayed up 'til 5
You'd never think a random night could change your life
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
Sing, na na na na na (ooh ooh)

Hey, it's fire and magic
But when you go away-way
It's like the Titanic
I'm split up into pieces in the Atlantic
So baby, won't you stay stay 'cause I gotta have it, have it
That stupid party talked outside
Walked to your place stayed up 'til 5
You'd never think a random night could change your life!
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
We all need a light in the dark
Come and spend the night in my heart
We all need a light in the dark
Come and spend the night!! Hey!
Hey, tell me if I'm crazy
But when you come around round
It's kind of amazing
My head goes through clouds,
Above the rain and I'm never coming down down
Now that you saved me, baby
I know now I've never been in love before
I know now I've never been in love before you
Na na na na na (ooh ooh)

No baby, no baby, no baby no

My baby boy
Just let it die
With no goodbyes
Details don't matter
We both paid the price
Tears in my eyes
You know sometimes
It'd be like that baby
Now every time I see you
I pretend I'm fine
When I wanna reach out to you
But I turn and I walk and I let it ride
Baby I must confess
We were bigger than anything
Remember us at our best
And don't forget about
[Chorus]
Late nights, playin' in the dark
And wakin' up inside my arms
Boy, you'll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don't forget about us
I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us
Oh they say
That you're in a new relationship
But we both know
Nothing comes close to
What we had, it perseveres
That we both can't forget it
How good we used to get it
There's only one me and you
And how we used to shine
No matter what you go through
We are one, that's a fact
That you can't deny
So baby we just can't let
The fire pass us by
Forever we'd both regret
So don't forget about
[Chorus]
And if she's got your head all messed up now
That's the trickery
She'll wanna have like you know how this lovin' used to be
I bet she can't do like me
She'll never be M-C
Baby don't you, don't you forget about us
[Chorus- x2]
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
No baby, no baby, no baby no
Don't baby, don't baby, don't let it go
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us.

A D
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
E D A
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
D
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
E D A
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
A D
I met the man I call my dad when I was 5 years old
E D A
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
D
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
E D A
I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes... And then
[Chorus 1]
Bm E
All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
A D
How we went from somethings missing to a family
Bm E F#m
Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
A D A
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be
[Verse 2]
A D
I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago
E D A
We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more

Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends

Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in... And now
[Chorus 2]
Bm E
All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
A D
How we've gone from somethings missing to a family

You know he didn't have to be

Hey!
And that's it. Use the same chords and strumming for each chorus and verse, and as for
solo.... well, you can either play the solo like normal(I'll put the tab for the solo
or you can skip it. I find if you're playing alone, the chorus sounds awkward like
because it goes from loud chorus to a somewhat empty/quiet solo feeling, so personally I
it. However, if you have a band or something, it may sound better with the solo.
Also, for the part at the end where he goes a denial over and over, just do the chorus.
Solo- (tabbed as if you still have the capo on)

Playing Notes-
1. Just one bass guitar (looped) and one rhythm guitar. As with many classics,
this song is very easy to play. Just get the rhythm down and you are set.
2. I am omitting lyrics since the whole song is based on this simple arrangement.

Listened to my old man

[Verse 1] A Bbdim7 Bm Bm E E7 A A A Bbdim7 Bm Dm E E7 E E7
Blame it all on my roots / I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
I toasted you
Said honey we may be through
But you'll never hear me
Complain
[Chorus] A A Bm E A A A A7 Bm E A A
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
'Cause I've got friends
In low places
[Verse 2] A Bbdim7 Bm Bm E E7 A A A Bbdim7 Bm Dm E E7 E E7
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
I'll be as high as that Ivory tower That you're livin'in
[Chorus]
