Capo on 1 INTRO - : Bb5 - C5 : Verse: F5 C5 I really need to talk with you D5 I keep stepping on the vein Bb5 That keeps my lifeline flowing through.

Just go away... PRE-CHORUS Bb5 Sometimes I feel like weeping A5 Awake and when I'm sleeping Ab5 F5 Perfecting how to put a game face on Bb5 This puzzle I've been keeping A5 Has been in hiding creeping Ab5 A5 Out the closet door, spilling out onto the floor; CHORUS F5 C5 D5 Bb5 F5 C5 D5 Bb5 How long will I be picking up the pieces?
