Verse 1:
Em
  I've been brushed to the side
I've been taken for rides
He said I'm gonna do fine
                 C
But I never knew why

  I thought I could
still make it
How do we say it
I just wanted it

in the worst way

All my friends can

way I think
But I can't remember
             C
how I really feel

Bridge:
C              Bm
  Please doctor  come
       Em          G
cure me  I lost my legs
C                  Bm
  I walked for ten long years
     Em                  G
and I  tripped along the way
  C                   Bm
I don't know if I can take ten more
    Em                  G
I'm getting comfortable on the floor
     C              B
And I can sleep for days and
Em                      G          C    B
dream about life with a general distaste

Ask for hope and dignity
