INTRO
A5 G5 D5 A5 G5 D5

VERSE
  A5             G5              D5 
I don't want to talk about it to you

        A5                        G5     D5                               
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through

    A5                           B5        G5 E5              
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to

           D5          A5           G5                          
I'm just a basket case without you


           A5              G5    D5
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit

          A5                     G5    D5     
But had a steady hand and I got used to it

      A5                    B5         G5 E5   
And a glass cage heart and invited me in

                   D5          A5           G5
And now I'm just a basket case without him

CHORUS
D5                    G5                    
You're begging for the truth

G5                    D5 ( G5 A5 )                   
So I'm saying it to you

                      G5                  
I've been saving your place

         G5                               
And what good does it do
 
               D5           A5 G5
Now I'm just a basket case

               D5           A5 G5              
Now I'm just a basket case

VERSE
  A5                        G5        D5  
I don't say much and it'll stay that way

         A5                                 G5        D5
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay

        A5               B5        G5 E5     
So I'll stay right here underneath you

           D5             A5                 G5
I'm just a basket case and that's what we do

CHORUS
D5                     G5                   
You're begging for the truth

G5                    D5 ( G5 A5 )               
So I'm saying it to you

D5                        G5                
I've been saving your place

         G5                               
And what good does it do

               D5          A5 G5               
Now I'm just a basket case

BRIDGE
               D5                         
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams

             A5                          
Oh send your armies in of robbers and thieves

             B5        G5   D5            G5 A5 B5 A5
To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore

CHORUS
D5                     G5                   
You're begging for the truth

G5                    D5 (G5 A5 )                 
So I'm saying it to you

D5                     G5                  
I've been saving your place

         G5                               
And what good does it do

               D5           A5 G5              
Now I'm just a basket case

               D5           A5 G5         
Now I'm just a basket case

               D5           A5 G5        
Now I'm just a basket case

               D5           A5 G5        
Now I'm just a basket case
