Tom: A
A D
I feel like I'm an acrobat,
A E
I work the wire act, and I walk it nice and tall
A D
I wave down to a friendly crowd,
A E
they're screaming nice and loud, but I think they're hoping for a fall
[Chorus]
Bm D A
I said I'm sorry more than twice, kept the conversation nice
E
But it never got me anywhere
Bm D A
You do the best to wait your turn, until the day you finally learn
E D
That it never gets you anywhere, not anywhere
[Verse]
A D
I count my blessings on a napkin ring,
A E
there's a notch for everything you thought that I deserved,
A D
and I carve it with a rusty knife
A E
It's the story of my life, and it's getting more absurd
[Chorus]
Bm D A
I said I'm sorry more than twice, kept the conversation nice
E
But it never got me anywhere
Bm D A
You do the best to wait your turn, until the day you finally learn
E D
That it never gets you anywhere, not anywhere
[Verse]
A D
Somewhere between suicide and total bliss,
A E
I called for Providence and I asked her for a ride,
A D A
she found me on the Interstate, with a final twist of fate,
E
I watched her drive right by
[Chorus 2x]
Bm D A
I said I'm sorry more than twice, kept the conversation nice
E
But it never got me anywhere
Bm D A
You do the best to wait your turn, until the day you finally learn
E D
That it never gets you anywhere, not anywhere
[End]
D A
not anywhere, not anywhere...
