| G Dsus4 Cadd9 D |
[G]I was tired of being [Dsus4]put right down
by my[C]self for not being what you
thought you had found
[G]pulled hard in [Dsus4]two directions by
a de[C]sire to learn and my old affections
when I tried to share my world with you
you could not seem to tolerate
the people I had grown to love,
they shrank under your scrutiny
became the one's you hate
Chorus:
why did e[G]verything, every little [Dsus4]thing
every little thing with [C]you and me
have to be so-o political
e[G]verything every little [Dsus4]thing
every little thing with you and [C]me
have to to be so-o pol[G]itical
I feeling a little underwhelmed
about hanging 'round with you
and feeling overcautious
every little word, every little look
every little sigh,every little phrase
put me deeper in your doghouse
you let me out to run across your world
I ran into a wall,you told me I built it,
then you reel me, in ring me out,
pick me up, push me out again,then repeat it
Chorus
Bridge:
T[Dsus4]oo busy tripping on my tongue to [Cadd9]try and stand my ground
and I can st[Dsus4]ill myself crying in your lap
asking [Cadd9]you if you're happy with the man you had found
Harmonica Solo G-D-C-G X2
I'm grateful for what you did for me
I can see things now I never would've seen
and today I thought about what it could've been
but could never be for you and me,
Chorus
