NOTES:
If you're a solo guitar, you might want to play barré chords in the INTRO to
enable you to add the fills with the little finger. Just a thought...
Timing is 4/4.


INTRO:
Chords:
G   x55433 or 355433    C   x32010 or x35553
Bm  xx4432 or x24432    Em9 05455x
F   x33211 or 133211    D   55403x


[play: | G | Bm | F | C | Em9 | C | G | D |]


VERSE:
Chords:
G   x55433 or 355433    C   x32010 or x35553
Bm  xx4432 or x24432    Em9 05455x
F   x33211 or 133211    D   55403x

G           Bm               F               C
Sometimes I get too drunk, I feel so goddamn low.
  Em9              C             G        D
I have no place to go, no one to turn to.

I think about your loving arms and where I'd like to be
But it's selfish as can be, and I know it.

And if I'm sorry for myself, I'm sorry for you, too
'Cause I'm the same as you, and I'm burning.


CHORUS:
Chords:
D7  x00212    G  x55433
C   x32010    E  022100

D7              C            G                    E
  So I sing for everyone who feels there's no way out
C                                   G
Maybe if you all shout someone will hear you
    D7             G
Oh, listen to them shout


[GUITAR SOLO over INTRO sequence]


VERSE:
I won't say that I love you, 'cause that would be a lie
I can only say I try, and you know it.

Love is something more and less than words can hope to say
It's something day to day in the life we're living

Lovers come and lovers go but friends are hard to find
Yes I can count all mine on one finger


[repeat CHORUS]


VERSE:
The distance that's between us just never seems to change
There's a whole mountain range of misunderstanding...


[repeat CHORUS]
