[verse1]
C5          G5           C5      G5
He's got a thing about losin' control
C5            G5                E5            D5
carries it a mile just to see how far he'll go
C5                 G5           C5               G5
He brushes up his chops as he tries to fake a smile
  C5             G5           A5
A friend indeed when I need someone to stay a while
C5
Someone to stay a while

[chorus]
F5               G5            C5        G5
You can bend my ear, we will talk all day
          A5       E5              D5
Just make sure I'm around when you finally got something to say

G5        C5                  G5               C5             G5
He drops hints but he won't tell you what's really on his mind
      C5         G5         E5      D5
But I know if I look it's easy to find
           C5            G5        C5              G5
He's got a way with his anger, a way he lets it show
         C5          G5              A5
Like the smoldering smoke when the fire's left to coals
C5
Fire's left to coals.

[chorus]
F5               G5             C5            G5
You can take me down, you can show me your home
C5                   D5                 G5               E5
Not the place where you live, but the place where you belong
F5               G5            C5        G5
You can bend my ear, we will talk all day
          A5       E5                 D5                        C5
Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got something to say

                        ?
Bb5                      C5       F5            G5      E5
And what do you mean by I don't deserve this life?

[verse3]
          C5             G5          C5              G5
Well, his door's always open, he's always got the time
   C5             G5               E5             D5
To give a little something, even though he gets behind
     C5            G5             C5         G5
Your trips become his, and your lives are entwined
             C5              G5            A5
But like the horse with the junkie, it's all in your mind
C5
All in your mind.

[chorus]
F5               G5             C5            G5

C5                   D5                 G5               E5
Not the place where you live, but the place where you belong
F5               G5            C5        G5
You can bend my ear, we will talk all day
          A5       E5                 D5                        C5

C5 G5 A5 G5 C5 D5 G5

C5           G5          A5          G5 
Finally got something, finally got something, 
C5           D5            E5
Finally got something to say
