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

Chorus:
    C    G
Can you hear me now
    D
Can you hear me now
    C    G
Can you hear me now
    D    G
Can you hear me now


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


Chorus:
    C    G
Can you hear me now
    D
Can you hear me now
    C    G
Can you hear me now
    D    G
Can you hear me now


Bridge:

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


[Instrumental]

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


Chorus:
    C    G
Can you hear me now
    D
Can you hear me now
    C    G
Can you hear me now
    D    G
Can you hear me now

    C    G
Can you hear me now
    D
Can you hear me now
    C    G
Can you hear me now
    D    G
