Note: these are what chords happen when they do in the song, and only works for solo acoustic performance.
BM never performed this acoustically as far as I know and may have never played this song live at all since
Thorn has stated in an interview there are a couple of songs from Soup that have never been performed live.

A G Deep inside must defy arrangement A G I've been a stumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til now A G And I'll always try to justify the way I have been behaving A C Should I teach one not to know how? A C How to live in a world we live in now
