Basket Case

A Gsus2 D A Gsus2 D


[Verse]

  A             Gsus2              D
I don't want to talk about it to you
        A                        
I'm not an open book that you can
Gsus2     D
 rifle through
    A                           
The cold hard truth that you'll 
Bm7        Gsus2 Em7
see right to
           D          A           
I'm just a basket case without you
Gsus2


           A              Gsus2 
He's not a magic man or a perfect 
   D
fit
          A                     
But had a steady hand and I got 
Gsus2    D
used to it
      A                    Bm7    
And a glass cage heart and invited
     Gsus2 Em7
 me in
                   D          
And now I'm just a basket case 
A           Gsus2
without him


[Chorus]

D                    Gsus2
You're begging for the truth
Gm                    D (G/D A/D)
So I'm saying it to you
                      Gsus2
I've been saving your place
         Gm
And what good does it do

               D           A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case


[Verse]

  A                        Gsus2  
I don't say much and it'll stay 
      D
that way
         A                         
You got a steel train touch and I'm
        Gsus2        D
 just a track you lay
        A               Bm7        
So I'll stay right here underneath 
Gsus2 Em7
you
           D             A        
I'm just a basket case and that's 
         Gsus2
what we do


[Chorus]

D                     Gsus2
You're begging for the truth
Gm                    D (G/D A/D)
So I'm saying it to you
D                        Gsus2
I've been saving your place
         Gm
And what good does it do
               D          A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case


[Bridge]

               D
Won't somebody come on in and tug at
 my seams
             A
Oh send your armies in of robbers 
and thieves
             Bm        Gsus2   
To steal the state I'm in I 
D/F#            Gsus2 A Bm7 A7/C#
don't want it anymore


[Chorus]

D                     Gsus2
You're begging for the truth
Gm                    D (G/D A/D)
So I'm saying it to you
D                     Gsus2
I've been saving your place
         Gm
And what good does it do
               D           A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
