Talking To Myself chords by Justin Townes Earle

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Gm C F x2


Verse:
Gm
I'll admit I'm lonely
C
And need someone to hold me
F
Just to sleep at night
Gm
But I'd rather be alone
C

Rather wake up on my own
F
Come morning time


Chorus:
Dm                      C
The days pass so slowly and it never fades
Dm                             C
Evening comes, I'm looking for somebody else
Bb                     C                        F
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself


Verse:
Gm                      C                    F
Despite my best efforts to try and learn to forgive
Gm                       C                               F
I find me haunted by the ghosts of all those that I just can't forget
Gm                   C                         F
And I know better than to think that it can be fixed
Gm                    C                          F
Best that I can do is just to learn to live with this


Chorus:
Dm                   C
I'm in a lot of pain and I need some help
Dm                   C
I don't dare tell nobody else
Bb                     C                        F
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself


Solo:
Gm C F x2


Bridge:
     C       Bb              F
I rarely go out, and when I go
         C                Bb       C
I always hope I don't see anyone I know


Gm                                   C                      F
'Cause the drinks bring no joy to me, I just can't remember when
        Gm
All the drugs begin to fail me,
        C                          F
Left me only with a lonely child to fend

Dm               C
I tried to love and I failed
Dm                C
I've put my heart on a shelf

Bb                     C                        F
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself

Bb                     C                        F
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself
