G      D  Em7      Cadd9        D
Lately I,  I been headin' for a breakdown

G     D               Em7        Cadd9             D
Everytime I leave my house, it feels just like a shakedown

Between the

Em7                       D             G          Cadd9          D
Streetsweepers and the pushers are the lawyers who may as well be butchers        

Between the

Em7           D            G          Cadd9          D
Small timing hustlers who all seem to feed upon each other

[Chorus]

Cadd9    Em7           D
Ooooh   God, why you been

Cadd9              Em7     D
Hangin out in that ol' violin

Cadd9  Em7     D                       
Waitin     for you...   to pull me through

Lately I,  everytime I try to lie down

        G                 D, Em7       Cadd9         D
Well my mind just gets away,   I can't even close my eyes now

[Pre-Chorus]

D

Em7                       D             G          Cadd9          D
Big Fish ambition and the lovers using words as ammunition              

Between the

Em7                   D          G               Cadd9                D
Wood planks I've been pacing and this impossible dream that I been chasin'

[Chorus]

Cadd9    Em7           D
Ooooh   God, why you been

Cadd9              Em7     D
Hangin out in that ol' violin

Hangin out in that ol' violin    

While I've been
