Tom: Am
Am Em G Am
[Verse 1]
Am Em
If I can't crawl inside of you,
G Am
I'm laughing with a broken face,
Am Em
I stumble across my self-esteem,
G Am
But to picture the pleasure is making me want my space
C Am
Understand that God wrapped you like a bow
C
But in my head, there're some shelves that need cleaning
Am
From basement to ceiling, control, control...
Am Em
If what you're seeing is an open book
G
That's great 'cause I'm an open book
Am
But I'm real shy
Am
Now there's a part of me seeking
Em
And desperately needing to open up
G Am
That's strange 'cause I'm an open book, a confused boy
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I'm an automatic steeple for depressed and lonely people
Em
My heart, while in its cage
G
Give and not receive a thing
But the only funny thing:
Am
I don't know how to give myself advice
[Chorus]
Am
And I've got this post-traumatic thing
Em
This tattoo of a ring around my wedding finger
Em
And that's where I want to state this claim
G
That I've got to learn to live and dream
Am C
Before I go and get myself in love, in love
Am
Before, before, before I go and get myself in love
[Verse 2]
Am
There's Zoloft, Welbutrin
Em
There's Paxil that's proven, no side effects
G
But the rest left unnamed
Am
'Cause they worked like a charm on me
Am
But when your savings is drying
You can't stop from crying
Em
You've got to suck it up
G
You're not her buttercup
Am
You're not her favorite book
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I'm an automatic steeple for depressed and lonely people
Em
My heart, while in its cage
Give and not receive a thing
G
But the only funny thing:
Am
I don't know how to give myself advice
[Chorus]
Am
And I've got this post-traumatic thing
Em
This tattoo of a ring around my wedding finger
G
And that's where I want to state this claim
G
That I've got to learn to live and dream
Am C
Before I go and get myself in love, in love
Am
Before, before, before I go and get myself in love
C
in love.
Am
Before, before, before I go and get myself in love
