        F5          A5   F5       C5     E5         A5
   Your hand on his arm, haystack charm around your neck
  F5              A5    F5           C5               E5        A5
   Strung out and thin, calling some friend trying to cash some check
        F5     A5    F5                 E5        A5
   He's acting dumb, that's what you've come to expect

Vs.2
   He's wearing your clothes, head down to toes a reaction to you
   You say you know what he did, but you idiot kid you don't have a
clue
   Sometimes you just get caught in the eye, you're pulling him
through
 
            Chorus

Vs.3
    Now on the bus, nearly touching this dirty retreat
    Faling out, sixth and Powell, a dead sweat in my teeth
    Gonna walk walk walk, four more blocks plus the one in my brain
Vs.4
    Down downstairs, to the man he's gonna make it all OK
    I can't beat myself, I can't beat myself, and I don't wanna talk
    I'm taking the cure, so I can be quiet
               F
    Wherever I want
                 G         E           Am              F
    So leave me alone, you ought to be proud that I'm getting good
