Bar 1st Fret Strings 1 & 2 for majority of song to let ring out
Am is actually Fmaj7/A but it's just Am with that first fret held down on 1st string
Same with the C. The Bb becomes a Bbsus2 but I showed as just Bb to make it look cleaner
the Dm7 is just barring the first frent on strings 1 and 2 and dropping the middle finger on fret 2 string 3
Strum bottom four strings like a normal D

[Verse 1]
F Am What I've kept with me Bb And what I've thrown away F Am And where the hell I've ended up Bb On this glary, random day Dm7 G Were the things I really cared about C F Just left along the way Am Bb For being too pent up and proud
[Verse 2]
F Am Woke up way too late Bb Feeling hungover and old F Am And the sun was shining bright Bb And I walked barefoot down the road Dm7 G Started thinking 'bout my old man C F Am Bb It seems that all men want to get into a car and go Am Bb Anywhere
[Chorus]
Bb C Here I stand Sad and F Am free I can't Bb C cry I can't Dm7 Am see What I've Bb C done Oh Dm7 Am Bb God what have I done?
[Verse 3]
F Am Don't you know I'm numb, man No Bb I can't feel a thing at all 'Cause it's F Am All smiles and business these days Bb And I'm indifferent to the loss Dm7 G I've faith that there's a soul somewhere C F That's leading me around Am Bb I wonder if she knows which way is down
[Chorus]
Bb C Here I stand Sad and F Am free I can't Bb C cry I can't Dm7 Am see What I've Bb C done Oh Dm7 Am Bb God what have I done?
[Transition]
Am G#m
[Bridge]
C Bb Am I poured my heart out Bb C Bb I poured my heart out F Am Bb It evaporated, see?
[Interlude]
F Am Bb
[Verse 4]
F Am Blind man on a canyon's edge Bb Of a panoramic scene F Am Maybe I'm a kite that's flying high and random Bb Dangling on a string Dm7 G Or slumped over in a vacant room C F Head on a stranger's knee Am I'm sure back home Bb They think I've lost my mind
[Chorus]
Bb C Here I stand Sad and F Am free I can't Bb C cry I can't Dm7 Am see What I've Bb C done Oh Dm7 Am Bb God what have I done?
