Capo 5th fret, standard tuning.
C Things seem so opposite E7 More and more Am Everyday G
C I'm asleep when I'm wide awakeE7 And the sun sAmhines When it rainsG
C Feels like I'm lying when I'm teE7lling the truth And it hurAmts How it painGs
When they ask howC I'm doing And i just smileE7 in reply I say &quAmot;Thanks I'm okGay"
I'm just Cstumblin' I'm just E7drunk again Am It's not my fault anyway G
Just some soCng I wrote Just some heE7art I broke Am Another ball and chain G
C My father put down hiE7s guitar And he spoke Am His refraiGn
He said "C;You can write songs 'till you're blue in the faE7ce But son nothiAmn's Gonna changeG"
And I thiCnk of that now as I'm writing this dE7own trying to catchAm Your gazeG
With some pretty Cwords, wrapped in metaphors E7 Hoping I can leave yoAmu On a pageG
Take what's kCilling me, Light it with E7 kerosene, Am Turn and walk away G
May each vCerse I write Be my last cE7ompromise Am To simply numb the pain G
Because you knCow as well as I doE7 Am That these things Fwill fadeG C
**Guitar 1 Solo** C E7 Am G (2x)
C I know a woman who lives alone E7 In a hAmouse Down the way G
Who wears a beautifuCl gown And a thorE7ny crown And hangs paintinAmgs without frames G
She waCters her plants And feeds her shepard dE7og that's locked up Am With no name G
And every now andC again Something falls anE7d breaks And darkAmness leads the way G
'Cause when her husbanCd died There was no bliE7nding light Am Just an empty grave G
Now her Challowed god Is just a E7 calloused fraud Am And no one's ever saved G
C Sometimes I hear her sing songs so true E7 They remind Amme Of a plGace
That I'vCe never been But her voicE7e captures me, and I'm forced Am To retracGe
The steCps to her door Where I hideE7 and listen, 'till her dog barks Am From its cage G
And she straigChtens up, Looks righE7t at me, and demands Am In a wispy way G
She says C "Who are you?" "What are you E7 going to do?" Am "Come out and show your face" G
I said C "Ma'm I've tried My en---tE7ire life Am To try and answer that phrase G
But ifC you singE7 anotheAmr song, I think we'd be F GO-kaCy
(Let ring)
And shouCld we all die tomorrE7ow Am At least we had F GTo-daCy
