[Verse 1]

  Asus2      Asus2     Em7/D      
I gave you a child and you didn't 
A7sus2
want it
D                    D         Em
That's the most that I have to 
  Em
give
  Asus2      Asus2     Em7/D      
I gave you a house and you didn't 
A7sus2
haunt it

Now where am I supposed to live ?

[Verse 2]
  G          D        Bm7        
I gave you a tree and you did not
    Em
 embrace it
  G           D            
I gave you a nightmare and you 
Bm          C
didn't chase it
    D          G         G/A   
I'd give you a dream and you'd 
Em        Em/D C
only wake from it
D        D                   Em  Em
Now I'll never go to sleep again

[Verse 3]
    D          G         G/A   
I'd give you a treasure and 
Em        Em/D C
you'd only take from it
D        D                   Em  
Look at the hole where jewelry had 
Em
been
Asus2      Asus2   Em7/D         
Baby, oh baby, why must you 
  A7sus2
escape from it –
     D            D             
This love that we once called our 
   Em    Em
friend ?

[Verse 4]
  G            D        Bm7   
I gave you my body and you ate a 
     Em
plenty
  G            D         Bm      
I gave you ten lives and you 
    C
wasted twenty
D                G G/A   Em   
Now I'm standing empty, 
Em/D   C
helpless and bare
D          D                   Em
Without a morsel left of me to 
  Em
give

And you, you have vanished into 
   A7sus2
the air
D            D           Em  Em
The air in which I must live
