Basket Case

I (A)don't want to

(G)talk about it to you.

I'm not an open book that you can rifle through,

the (A)cold, hard truth that you'll (Bm7)see right (Em7)to.

I'm just a (D)basket case without (G)you.

He's not a (A)magic man and or a (G)perfect fit,

but had a steady hand and I got used to it.

(D)And a (A)glass cage heart and (Bm7)invited me (Em7)in,

and now I'm just a (D)basket case without him.

(D)You're begging for the (G)truth,

(Gm)so I'm saying it to you.

(D)I've been saving your place

and what (Gm)good does it do?

Now I'm just a (D)basket case.

(G)Now I'm just a (D)basket case.

(G)I (A)don't say much and it'll (G)stay that way.

You got a steel train touch and I'm just a you lay.

(D)So I'll (A)stay right here and in (Bm7)underneath you.

(Em7)and now I'm just a (D)basket case that's what do.

(D)You're begging for the (G)truth,

(Gm)so I'm saying it to you.

(D)I've been saving your place

and what (Gm)good does it do?

Now I'm just a (D)basket case.

(G)Now I'm just a (D)basket case.

(G)I Won't somebody come on in

and tug at my seams.

Oh, send your (A)armies in

of robbers and thieves to steal the state I'm (G)in.

I don't (D)want it anymore.

(G)Now I'm just a (D)basket case.

Now I'm a just basket case.

(G)Now I'm just a (D)basket case.
