Verse:
D MajorD     A augmentedA           B minorBm    Bm/ABm/A
I ran half baked with the broken hearts
G+G      F# minorF#m    E minorEm   A augmentedA
Stealing my way to my shell
       D MajorD     A augmentedA        B minorBm        Bm/ABm/A
Where I could dream and plan for all my broken schemes
     G+G        F# minorF#m      E minorEm    A augmentedA
Where the rattle of the guitar shakes my brain

Chorus:
E minorEm    A augmentedA
Shoot me down again

I'm on my way, to a better place to see

Well sing it
   B minorBm   E MajorE

Verse:
D MajorD     A augmentedA      B minorBm    Bm/ABm/A
I poured a shot into a paper cup
  G+G        F# minorF#m         E minorEm  A augmentedA
And washed down the tears as the Stones played
     D MajorD          A augmentedA      B minorBm     Bm/ABm/A
A augmentedA special tune that filled the room of this hollow soul
G+G        F# minorF#m       E MajorE   A augmentedA
Searching for a spark to find my way

Chorus:
E MajorE        A augmentedA
So I just get my head around
        F# minorF#m              B minorBm
And some folks say it’s not OK, it's just the way
       E MajorE     G+G
You've got to say it
