Evaporated Ben Folds Five
(the whole song has a fourth running through
it in the right hand. I think Ben might
be using two pianos on this song. Instead of
an F chord it's really C and F at middle C.)
INTRO
[F] [F/A] [F/Bb]
[F] [F/A] [F/Bb]
VERSE 1
[F] What I've kept with [F/A]me
And [F/Bb]what I've thrown away[/C]
And [F]where the hell I've en[F/A]ded up
On this [F/A]glary, random day
[/B]Were [/C]the [F/D]things I really car[F/G]ed about
just [F/C]left along the w[F]ay
For [F/Bb]being too pent up and proud
VERSE 2
Woke up way too late
feeling hungover and old
And the sun was shining bright
and I walked barefoot down the road
Started thinking 'bout my old man
It seems that all men
want to get into a car and go
[F/A]any - [F/Bb]where
CHORUS
Here I [Bbadd2]stand [Cadd4] sad an[Cadd4/E]d free[F]
I can't [Bbadd2] cry [Cadd4] I can'[Cadd4/D]t see[/D] [/D#]
[Cadd4/E] What I've [Bbadd2] done[Cadd4]
Oh [Cadd4/D]God what [Dm7/A]have I [F/Bb]done?[F/A]
PIANO INTERLUDE
F F/A F/Bb (riff 1)
F F/A F/Bb (riff 2)
VERSE 3
Don't you know I'm numb, man
No I can't feel a thing at all
'Cause it's all smiles and business these days
And I'm indifferent to the loss
I think that there's a soul somewhere
that's leading me around
I wonder if she knows which way is down
CHORUS
Here I stand, sad and free
I can't cry, and I can't see
What I've done, oh God what have I done?
[Abdim7] [C] [Csus4] [C]
BRIDGE
[Bb]I poured my heart out[C] [F] [Bb]
[C]I poured my heart out[Bb/F]
It [F]evapo[F/A]rated [F/Bb] see?
[F] [F/A] [F/Bb]
VERSE 4
Blind man on a canyon's edge of a panoramic scene
Maybe I'm a kite that's flying high and random
Dangling on a string, or slumped over in a vacant room
Head on a stranger's knee
I'm [F/Bb]sure back home they think I've lost my mind
CHORUS
Here I stand - sad and free
I can't cry and I can't see
What I've done
Oh God what have I done?
