VERSE 2

******** D G Well I'm up to my neck in the crumbling wreckage D G Of all that I wanted from life (Section 1) D G When I looked for respect all I got was neglect Bm F# Though I swallowed the lign as a sign of the times G Gm But dealing a jack from the back of the pack D A Bm They said "You lose again" G A D Oh, I said, who needs it Guitar Notes 01:11 -------------- ------s------- -7-9-9\11-9-7- -------------- -------------- -------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------

CHORUS

******* F# Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on Bm A G With the jokers that got in my way Gm D And I put on a smile and I tried all the while to be straight F# But they just wanted more all the time and I'm sure Bm A G That you know what I mean when I say Gm A That I'm sick of the touch and there's only so much you can take. -----------------------------------------------------------------

VERSE 3

******** D G Well nothing that's real is ever for free D G And you just have to pay for it sometime (Section 1) D G She said it before, she said it to me Bm F# I suppose she believed there was nothing to see G Gm But the same old four imaginary walls D A Bm She built for living inside G A D I said oh, you just can't mean it SOLO 1 - D G 5x ******* Bm F# G D A Bm G A D G D 02:08 Guitar 1

CHORUS

******* F# Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out Bm A G she was just looking around for a way Gm D In the pit of the night there was nowhere to hide any more F# She was out on a limb, she was reaching for things Bm A G That she wanted, but just couldn't say Gm A And she had to be sure that she wouldn't get caught like before. -----------------------------------------------------------------

VERSE 4

******** D G Well nothing that's forced can ever be right D G If it doesn't come naturally, leave it (Section 1) D G That's what she said as she turned out the light Bm F# And she may have been wrong, and she may have been right G Gm But I woke with the frost, and noticed she'd lost D A Bm The veil that covered her eyes G A D I said oh, you can leave it.
