Rhythm tips ↓↑-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[A]I stare at the headlights ’til I get my head right [F#m]And the dogs stop their howls on the porch My head is an ocean and I’m getting homesick, [E]for a place I’ve never known [A]And I just keep laughing when I’m stuck in traffic, [E]at the metaphor [F#m]I’ve become Maybe [F#m]I’m restless, a manic, depressive, or [A]maybe I need someone, or maybe not

So [A]please just give me something for the [D]pain [F#m]’Cause my heart softens to your name, and when you’re [D]gone I come undone And when [A]you’re gone how come I’m weak, and I [D]walk wires and I pull teeth And I’m so tired of chasing [F#m]dreams, I [D]need someone to wake me up I need someone to wake me up, [A]ooh, [F#]ooh, ooh, [A]ooh [E] [F#m]

[A]I remember the evening you showed me Cat Stevens Now I fill the [F#m]room up with “Father and Son” Two minutes emotion, for I was [D]frozen, by the fear and the [A]boredom Now I’ve run out of reasons to pick up your pieces, I [F#m]just tried to recall what once was Maybe I’m [F#m]desperate, a manic, depressive, [A]or maybe I need someone, or maybe not

So [A]please just give me something [D]for the pain ‘Cause [F#m]my heart softens to your name, and when [D]you’re gone I come undone [A]And when you’re gone how come I’m weak, and I [D]walk wires and I pull teeth And I’m so tired of chasing dreams [F#m]I need [D]someone to wake me up I need someone to wake me up, [A][Bm]ooh, [F#m]ooh, [D] [A][Bm]ooh, [F#m] ooh [D]

[A] [Bm] [F#m] [D] [A] [Bm] [F#m] [D] So [A]please just give me something [D]for the pain ‘Cause [F#m]my heart softens to your name, and when [D]you’re gone I come undone [A]And when you’re gone how come I’m weak, and I [D]walk wires and I pull teeth And I’m so tired of chasing dreams [F#m]I need [D]someone to wake me up I need someone to wake me up, [A]ooh, [F#m]ooh
