INTRO: Fig.1 two times
VERSE 1 (/w Fig.1)
I'm just thinkin' about the child in me,
That I sometimes feel inside
And I'm figuring out just what it is
That makes me feel so small
Is it you, that hurts me when I give myself
Every day and every night
Am I too blind to see that it doesn't work out
Did I really ask too much of you

guitar 2: D - C - Bb - C (over and over)
It's all so hard, It's so hard
It's all so hard, It's so hard
VERSE 2 (w/ Fig.1)
As I search for an answer, I see the clear blue sky
And I know that you're the one to blame
And I feel so naive
When you say that our love to you was just a game
(guitar 2 play chords louder: D - C - Bb - C)
I dream, my dream, I'm sane, I'm insane
Oh, please don't, please don't speak to me that way
