Key: D
Introduction:
D G D
In a Mississippi hotel room
Bm A G
I was wounded and confused
Bm A G
As I watched the 10 o'clock news
D G D
I was waiting on a late night call
Bm A G
That I knew would never come
Bm A G
And though I doubt it's what you'd want
D G D
I call you from the steps outside
Bm A G
You say you were fast asleep
Bm A G
And every lie, it tortures me
Bm A G
I can't kill what does not bleed
A
So please explain
Bm A G D A
Can you tell me what it is you need?
Bm A G D A
'Cause I've been trying, still I cannot see
Bm A G D A
These wasted moments brought me to my knees
G A
I just wanna give you everything
D G D
If morning is my darkest time
Bm A G
In the night I sometimes find
Bm A G
There is comfort without lie
D G D
I've been living with no hope
Bm A G
It was a shame to let it go
Bm A G
But it was drowning me so slow
D G D
I've never felt so far away
Bm A G
From the boy I used to be
Bm A G
And I wonder what he'd see
Bm A G
From the corner of some ship
A
He met me today
Bm A G D A
Can you tell me what it is you need?
Bm A G D A
'Cause I've been trying, still I cannot see
Bm A G D A
These wasted moments brought me to my knees
G A
I just wanna give you everything
D G D
In the letter that you wrote me last
Bm A G
There were words that burned to hear
Bm A G
And red lipstick on the mirror
D G D
You said loving me's a great mistake
Bm A G
'Cause I have never loved myself
Bm A G
And I am sorry if you felt
Bm A G
that maybe you could offer help
A
To someone like me
Bm A G D A
Can you tell me what it is you need?
Bm A G D A
'Cause I've been trying, still I cannot see
Bm A G D A
These wasted moments brought me to my knees
G A
I just wanna give you everything
