Verse:
G+G            G+G
O the walls are closin' in
          C majorC
I can feel it in my bones
              D MajorD
Like water risin' up to my chin
             G+G
Another long night to be alone
           G+G
I could go out on the town
            C majorC
Talk too much and laugh too loud
             D MajorD
If I'm already on my way down
               G+G
I might as well just work the crowd

Chorus:
    C majorC    G+G
Can you hear me now
    D MajorD
Can you hear me now
    C majorC    G+G
Can you hear me now
    D MajorD    G+G
Can you hear me now


Verse:
           G+G
O the stories I could tell
             C majorC
Sometimes I really hit my stride
                  D MajorD
We make our own Heaven and our own Hell
               G+G
Tryin' to get across to the other side
             G+G
But everyday ends up the same
            C majorC
One step up, two steps back
              D MajorD
Like some old silent movie frame
             G+G
Zoom in close, then fade to black

Chorus:
    C majorC    G+G
Can you hear me now
    D MajorD
Can you hear me now
    C majorC    G+G
Can you hear me now
    D MajorD    G+G
Can you hear me now


Bridge:

C majorC               E minorEm
How did the load get to be so heavy
 G+G               C majorC
I used to wear my troubie like a crown
E minorEm              C majorC
A augmentedA bad flood's poundin' on the levee
    G+G
And l'm gonna need some help
      D MajorD
To hold my ground


[Instrumental]

Verse:
            G+G
But I'm sinkin' like a stone
                  C majorC
To where in solitude this life I'll spend
                D MajorD
In the coldest place I've ever known
              G+G
I'm here just waitin' until the end
        G+G
I send up my S.O.S.
              C majorC
A augmentedA message in a bottle set out to sea
             D MajorD
It just reads "Soul in distress"
              G+G
But nobody ever got back to me


Chorus:
    C majorC    G+G
Can you hear me now
    D MajorD
Can you hear me now
    C majorC    G+G
Can you hear me now
    D MajorD    G+G
Can you hear me now

    C majorC    G+G
Can you hear me now
    D MajorD
Can you hear me now
    C majorC    G+G
Can you hear me now
    D MajorD    G+G
