[Intro]
A Gsus2 D A Gsus2 D
[Verse]
A Gsus2 D I don't want to talk about it to you A Gsus2 D I'm not an open book that you can rifle through A Bm7 Gsus2 Em7 The cold hard truth that you'll see right to D A Gsus2 I'm just a basket case without you A Gsus2 D He's not a magic man or a perfect fit A Gsus2 D But had a steady hand and I got used to it A Bm7 Gsus2 Em7 And a glass cage heart and invited me in D A Gsus2 And now I'm just a basket case without him
[Chorus]
D Gsus2 You're begging for the truth Gm D (G/D A/D) So I'm saying it to you Gsus2 I've been saving your place Gm And what good does it do D A Gsus2 Now I'm just a basket case D A Gsus2 Now I'm just a basket case
[Verse]
A Gsus2 D I don't say much and it'll stay that way A Gsus2 D You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay A Bm7 Gsus2 Em7 So I'll stay right here underneath you D A Gsus2 I'm just a basket case and that's what we do
[Chorus]
D Gsus2 You're begging for the truth Gm D (G/D A/D) So I'm saying it to you D Gsus2 I've been saving your place Gm And what good does it do D A Gsus2 Now I'm just a basket case
[Bridge]
D Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams A Oh send your armies in of robbers and thieves Bm Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 A Bm7 A7/C# To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore
[Chorus]
D Gsus2 You're begging for the truth Gm D (G/D A/D) So I'm saying it to you D Gsus2 I've been saving your place Gm And what good does it do D A Gsus2 Now I'm just a basket case D A Gsus2 Now I'm just a basket case D A Gsus2 Now I'm just a basket case D A Gsus2 Now I'm just a basket case

subsequent strums are voiced like this: A-D-A-C#-D (more like a DMaj7/A without an F#).

3) The Em7 chord includes an A; the voicing is approx. E-B-G-A-D.
