Am Am F F Am Am
Your hand on his arm
F F C C E E Am Am
The hay stack charm around your neck
F F Am Am
Strung out and thin
F F C C E E Am Am
Calling some friend trying to cash some check
F F Am Am
He's acting dumb
F F C C E E Am Am
That's what you've come to expect

Am Am C C
Needle in the hay

Am Am F F Am Am
He's wearing your clothes
F F C C E E Am Am
Head down to toes a reaction to you
F F Am Am F F C C
You say, you know what he did but you idiot kid
E E Am Am
You don't have a clue
F F Am Am F F E E
Sometimes they just get caught in the eye

You're pulling him through

Now on the bus
F F C C E E Am Am
Nearly touching this dirty retreat
F F Am Am F F C C E E Am Am
Falling out 6th and powell a dead sweat in my teeth
F F Am Am
Gonna walk walk walk
F F C C E E Am Am
Four more blocks plus the one in my break
F F Am Am F F C C
Down downstairs to the man
E E Am Am
He's gonna make it all ok
F F Am Am
I can't beat myself
F F C C
I can't beat myself
E E Am Am
And I don't want to talk
F F Am Am F F C C
I'm taking the cure so I can be quiet
E E F F
Whenever I want
G G
So leave me alone
E E Am Am F F Am Am
You ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks
