Guitar chords with lyrics

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
