P!nk The Great Escape from the album The Truth About Love
capo 4th or 5th fret depending on your tuning.  I made several attempts to put the
chords in the appropriate
 position for the changes, but recommend that you play along with the song for accurate chord
 changes because my formatting sucks...  Here are the chord voices:

------G----Em-----C----Am-----D------|
e-----3-----3-----3-----0-----2------|
B-----3-----0-----1-----1-----3------|
G-----0-----0-----0-----2-----2------|
D-----0-----2-----2-----2-----0------|
A-----2-----2-----3-----0------------|
E-----3-----0------------------------|

G        Em                                            G       Em
I can understand how when the edges are rough
G       Em      G      Em
And they cut you like the tiniest slivers of glass
         C                Am

But everyone you know is tryin' to smooth it over
C                     G                       D
Find a way to make the hurt go away
                              D                  C            G
But everyone you know is trying to smooth it over
C                                    G           D
Like you're trying to scream underwater
C                                            G   D    C
But I won't let you make the great escape

               G                    Em          G      Em
And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing
                                               C        Am
And you've retreated to your silent corner
                 C       Am                                  G Em G Em

Everyone you know, is tryin' smooth it over
C                               G                         D
Everyone needs a floor they can fall through
C                                     G   D     C
I won't let you make the great escape,

                      G  Em                  G         Em
And I don't need a pill to make me numb
                       C                      Am
And I wrote the book on runnin'
                       C         Am                              G    Em  G Em
