Capo V

          C/G            Csus4              C/G 
There are days I don't believe the words I say
       F                 C/G
Like a life that I'm not living
  F                 C/G            G   G6  G7
A song that I'm not singing but to you


          C/G            Csus4           C/G
There are times that I believe I'm satisfied
        F           C/G
Like an intimate connection
   F               C/G          G   G6  G7
Despite this bad reception with you


        Am              D
Cause I can't afford to pay
    Am             D
For most of what I say
   Am     C/B   C
So it's a lucky thing
         F                E
That the truth's public domain


    Am          E
And I am like a mockingbird
         F              C/G
I've got no new song to sing
    Am           E
And I am like an amplifier
       F                  G
I just tell you what I've heard
        Csus4          C/G
Oh, I'm like a mockingbird


    Csus4      C/G         Csus4                C/G
And yes, it's true that I need this more than you
     F                 C/G
Like one whose name is many
     F                   C/G      G  G6  G7
Have mercy, please don't send me away


    Am            D
And I?ll do all I can
   Am          D
To be a better man
   Am        C/B      C
Oh I?ll clean up this act
       F             E
And be worse than we started
