Chords

I sat down with Version 1, tried to make it a little more complete and readable. Some of the chords may be simplified because I play a ukulele, not a guitar. Credit for most of the work goes to Skip Allums. F Am Bb C (x2)
F         Dm                Bbadd9 
What I've kept with me, and what I've thrown away. 

    F                      Dm            Bbadd9
And where the hell I've ended up on this glary, random day 

         Dm7                 Gm
Were the things I really cared about, 

     C              F                      Bbadd9  (tacit)
Just left along the way, for being too pent up and proud 

F              Dm             Bbadd9
Woke up way too late, feeling hungover and old. 

        F               Dm                  Bbadd9
And the sun was shining bright and I walked barefoot down the road. 

        Dm7               Gm
Started thinking 'bout my old man, 

   C          F               Bbadd9 (tacit)
It seems that all men want to get into a car and go, ...

Am  Bb
Any-where. 
CHORUS:
       Bb    C       F       Bb
Here I stand,   Sad and free. 

        Bb  C     F        Bb
I can't cry,  I can't see 

         Bb    C     Dm      Am       Bb
What I've done.    Oh God what have I done? 
F Am Bb C (x2)
F                  Dm            Bbadd9
Don't you know I'm numb, man, no I can't feel a thing at all 

           F              Dm                             Bbadd9
Cause it's all smiles and business these days And I'm indifferent to the loss 

       Dm7                  Gm                    C          F
I have faith that there's a soul somewhere that's leading me around. 

   Bbadd9
I wonder if she knows which way is down 

       Bb    C       F       Bb
Here I stand,   Sad and free. 

        Bb  C     F        Bb
I can't cry,  I can't see 

         Bb   C     Dm      Am       Bb (tacit)
What I've done.    Oh God what have I done? 

C    C7
Ooo-ooh...

    Bb                    C
And I poured my heart ou--ut. 

    Bb           C    Bb
And I poured my heart out.
F Am (N/C) It evaporated... see?
F              Dm                 Bbadd9
Blind man on a canyon's edge of a panoramic scene. 

F                        Dm                      Bbadd9
Or maybe I'm kite that's flying high and random, dangling a string. 

   Dm7                Gm          C                   F
Or slumped over in a vacant room, head on a strangers knee. 

     F                   Bbadd9  (tacit)
I'm sure back home, they think I've lost my mind. 

       Bb    C       F       Bb
Here I stand,   Sad and free. 

        Bb  C     F        Bb
I can't cry,  I can't see 

          Bb   C     Dm      Am       Bb (tacit)
What I've done.    Oh God what have I done?
