Key: D
Introduction:
A G2 D
I don't want to talk about it to you
A
I'm not an open book
G2 D
That you can rifle through
A
The cold hard truth
Bm7 G2 Em7
That you'll see right to
D A G2
I'm just a basket case without you
A G2 D
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
A G2 D
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
A Bm7 G2 Em7
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
D A G2
And now I'm just a basket case without him
D G2
You're begging for the truth
Gm D G/D A/D
So I'm saying it to you
G2
I've been saving your place
Gm
And what good does it do
D A G2
Now I'm just a basket case
D A G2
Now I'm just a basket case
A G2 D
I don't say much and it'll stay that way
A
You got a steel train touch
G2 D
And I'm just a track you lay
A Bm7 G2 Em7
So I'll stay right here underneath you
D A G2
I'm just a basket case and that's what we do
D G2
You're begging for the truth
Gm D G/D A/D
So I'm saying it to you
D G2
I've been saving your place
Gm
And what good does it do
D A G2
Now I'm just a basket case
D
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams
A
Oh send your armies in of robbers and thieves
Bm G2
To steal the state I'm in
D/F# G2
I don't want it anymore
D G2
You're begging for the truth
Gm D G/D A/D
So I'm saying it to you
D G2
I've been saving your place
Gm
And what good does it do
D A G2
Now I'm just a basket case
D A G2
Now I'm just a basket case
D A G2
Now I'm just a basket case
D A G2
Now I'm just a basket case
