   Your hand on his arm, haystack 
C5     E5         A5
charm around your neck
  F5              A5    F5       
   Strung out and thin, calling 
    C5               E5        
some friend trying to cash some 
A5
check
        F5     A5    F5          
   He's acting dumb, that's what 
       E5        A5
you've come to expect

Vs.2
   He's wearing your clothes, head 
down to toes a reaction to you
   You say you know what he did, but
 you idiot kid you don't have a
clue
   Sometimes you just get caught in 
the eye, you're pulling him
through

    Now on the bus, nearly touching 
this dirty retreat
    Faling out, sixth and Powell, a 
dead sweat in my teeth
    Gonna walk walk walk, four more 
blocks plus the one in my brain
Vs.4
    Down downstairs, to the man he's
 gonna make it all OK
    I can't beat myself, I can't 
beat myself, and I don't wanna talk
    I'm taking the cure, so I can be
 quiet
               F
    Wherever I want
                 G         E      
    So leave me alone, you ought

to be proud that I'm getting good
