Intro: G Bb F
 
G
I have no space
 
No room to move around
Bb
And this box is getting smaller
F
I'm trying to get out
 
G
How did I get so far
 
From where I was
Bb
When did I decide
 
To lose my way
F
Who have I become
 
G
I've got a new low
Bb
All 52 cards in a row
F
I see now that I won't let go
G
No I won't let go
 
G
Well who am I?
Bb
A cold shoulder left to cry
F
You feel bad well so do I
G
Yeah so do I
 
G
I've been right; I've been left
Bb
I've been wrong; I've been left behind
F
I've been up but mostly down (2x)
 
G
I can not help feeling like
 
I have so much at stake
Bb
So I lock myself inside my head
F
And I just run in place
 
G
So many directions I don't
 
Know which way to go
Bb
I'm so busy doing nothing
F
I ain't got nothing to show
 
G
I've got a new low
Bb
All 52 cards in a row
F
I see now that I won't let go
G
No I won't let go
 
G
Well who am I?
Bb
A cold shoulder left to cry
F
You feel bad well so do I
G
Yeah so do I
 
G
I've been right; I've been left
Bb
I've been wrong; I've been left behind
F
I've been up but mostly down (2x)
 
GUITAR SOLO: (G Bb F ) (2x)
 
G
I make mistakes
 
Just like everybody else
Bb
But instead I'm letting go of it
F
I can't forgive myself
 
G
Well I did my time
 
In a window of this box
 
Like it or not
Bb
All I got now is today
 
Tomorrow ain't here
F
And yesterday is gone dead on me anyway
 
G
I've been right; I've been left
Bb
I've been wrong; I've been left behind
F
I've been up but mostly down (4x)
