Hi My name is Butch Deemer, I live in North East Maryland.  I love this song, and I
think you'll find that my version is one of the best out there.
This is an acoustic version I aranged, I can play it with the CD and it sounds great,
plus I think my version is probibly the best I've been able to find.  I find it better
to leave the high E string open the whole song, but its up to you, so what ever. Capo
the 2nd Fret (all chords relivive to Capo, as always) But here are the actual chords:

Cadd9:X32033
Em7    :022033
G (320003@1)       :320033
Asus2 :X20233
D (xx0232@1)        :X00232
                   ---Intro---  
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                                    Em7
See all those people on the ground

G (320003@1)         Cadd9wasting (x32030@1)time...

Cadd9 (x32030@1)              Em7
I try to hold it all inside

Em7

                    ---Chorus---
D (or Asus2) 
The top of the world, Im sitting here wishing

Cadd9
The things I've become. that some is missing

D(or (xx0232@1)Asus2)                      Cadd9Maybe (x32030@1)I... But what do I know     (on my own)

                    ---Verse 2---
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                                      Em7
And know it seem that I have found

G (320003@1)        Cadd9Nothing (x32030@1)at all...

Cadd9 (x32030@1)                                   Em7
I want to hear your voice out load

Em7
Slow it down, Slow it down.

                  ---Chorus 2---
D (or Asus2) 
Without it all I'm choking on nothing

Cadd9
It's clear in my head and im screaming for something

D(or (xx0232@1)Asus2)                                                             Cadd9 (x32030@1)      
Knowing nothing is better than knowing nothing at all 

Cadd9  Asus2   Em7
 (on        my       own...  ) 

Play the words "on my own" 6 times then go back and play Chorus 2 once more, and end on Em7


Rock on!
