Big Problem

Elliott Smith
 F#mD
 The problem I have with the soul contraption
 AEBm
 Swallowed up slowly like a bad reaction
 F#mD
 All around what you do and say   
 AEBm
 Well the symptom falls further away
 F#mD
 You live in silence but you can't describe it
 AEBm
 So what's the point of talking at all?
 F#mD
 The store bought injury.. the family cane
 AEBm
 Just another boy bad at the game 
 F#mDAE
 This is when you need a friend to keep you moving around          
 Bm
 F#mD
 'Cause all your thinking has made you slow
 AEBm
 You might be stopping out.. you know

 AF#m
 Frustrated fireworks inside your head
 F#mD
 There's a lit fuse smoking.. you caught instead
 AF#m
 What you're dealing.. but it's just a start
 F#mD
 Was a time since your problem was a poison dart
 AF#m
 And you act like a cowboy.. whatever's in my hat
 F#mD
 I'm a hardboiled hero and I'm not so bad
 AF#m
 But I didn't know when to run from this

 F#mD
 A proud fan is gonna see you shatter
 AEBm
 I know that there really isn't anything the matter
 F#mD
 Nothing is gonna be crying words..
 AEBm
 They only want their voice to be heard
 F#mD
 They use it sometimes to show that they're around
 AEBm
 Or they build you up a theory like the walls of a town
 F#mD
 A tired and ancient ruler right now..
 AEBm
 The neighborhood slaves are hardly skilled

 AF#m
 Open your parachute and drop your weight
 F#mD
 Float on down to the center and investigate
 AF#m
 I did my self requirement
 F#mD
 Better cop out hard or I'll leave right now
 AF#m
 'Cause this feeling of loving I felt it in my chest
 F#mD
 Like the nighttime footsteps of an unknown guest
 AF#m
 I know it wasn't me.. I wasn't moving..

 F#mD
 I felt thunder.. the rain was pouring
 AEBm
 I know it must be something wrong all this is restoring
 F#mD
 You don't have to live in a life's mistake
 AEA
 Stay in the center and wait      
 AEA
 Stay in the center and wait      
 AEBm
 Stay in the center and wait.
