[Verse]

  5             4              1 
I don't want to talk about it to you
        5                        4     1                               
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
    5                           6          4  2              
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
           1          5           4                          
I'm just a basket case without you

           5              4       1
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
          5                     4      1     
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
      5                    6          4   2   
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
                   1          5           4
And now I'm just a basket case without him

[Chorus]

1                    4                    
You're begging for the truth
4minor                    1                   
So I'm saying it to you
                      4                  
I've been saving your place
         4minor                               
And what good does it do
               1           5 4
Now I'm just a basket case
               1           5 4              
Now I'm just a basket case

[Verse]

  5                        4        1  
I don't say much and it'll stay that way
         5                                 4        1
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay
        5               6          4     2     
So I'll stay right here underneath you
           1             5                 4
I'm just a basket case and that's what we do

[Chorus]

1                     4                   
You're begging for the truth
4minor                    1               
So I'm saying it to you
1                        4                
I've been saving your place
         4minor                               
And what good does it do
               1          5  4              
Now I'm just a basket case

[Bridge]

               1                         
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams
             5                          
Oh send your armies in of robbers and thieves
             6        4   1               4
To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore

[Chorus]

1                     4                   
You're begging for the truth
4m                    1                 
So I'm saying it to you
1                     4                  
I've been saving your place
         4m                               
And what good does it do
               1           5  4           
Now I'm just a basket case      
Now I'm just a basket case    
Now I'm just a basket case    
Now I'm just a basket case
