Tom: F
(Intro):  B (barred at the 7'th)  to   (E barred at the 7'th)
           Hammer on the A and D strings.  Listen to CD for rhythm.


 F (at 8)  E (at 7)  D (at 5)
 The waiting drove me mad.
 F               E             D
 You're finally here and I'm a mess.
 F           E              D
 I'll take your interest back.
 F               E               D
 Can't let you roam inside my head.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I don't want to take what you can give.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I would rather starve than eat your bread.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I would rather run but I can walk.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 Guess I'll lie alone just like before.
 (Intro)
 F             E         D
 I'll take the firmest path.
 F            E          D
 and I must refuse your test.
 F           E          D 
 Push me and I will resist.
 F          E           D
 This behavior's not unique.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I don't want to live for those who know.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 They can buy but can't put on my clothes.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I don't want to wait for them to walk.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 Never would have known of me before.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I don't want to be held in your debt.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I'll pay it off in blood then I'll be wed.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I'm already cut up and half dead.
C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I'll end up alone like I began.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I don't want to take what you can give.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 I would rather starve than eat your breast.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 All the things that others want from me.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 Can't buy what I want because it's free.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 Can't buy what I want because it's free.
 C                 G*              A   G (1'st position)
 Can't be what you want because I'm. .  .

1. We were out on a date in my daddy's car,
C                     D
    we hadn't driven very far.
      G               Em
    There in road, straight a head, 
C                            D
     a car was stalled, the engine was dead.
    G                      Em
    I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right,
            C                D
    I will never forget the sound that night.
           G                 Em
    The screamin tires, the burstin glass,
         C                  D        G

2. When I woke up the rain was pouring down,
      C                         D
    there were people standing all around.
     G                      Em
    Something warm going through my eyes,
         C                  D
    but somehow I found my baby that night.
       G                              Em
    I lifted her head, she looked at me and said, 
      C                      D
    "Hold me darling just a little while!"
       G                            Em
    I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss,
       C                    D
    I found the love that knew I had missed.
         G                      Em
    And now she is gone, even though I hold her tight,
       C                D          G
    I lost my love, my life, that night.

Verse 1:
D            Dsus4   
I shut and locked the front door 
G                D
No way in or out 
D                Dsus4          
I turned and walked the hallway 
    G                           D       
And pulled the curtains down 
D               Dsus4              G              D     
I knelt and emptied the mouth of every club around 
D Dsus4 G                   D   
          But nothing's sound, 
D Dsus4 G               D
          nothing's sound 
D                           Dsus4         G              D
I stayed here when my last cab left  me, ignored all my rounds
D            Dsus4              G            D
Soon I was seeing visions and cracks along the walls
D Dsus4 G                   D   
        They were upside down

It's been about three days now, since I've been aground
D           Dsus4                    G             D
