Am G           C         F
I lay myself upon the floor
Am G           C      F
We're not all dying, babe
Am     G             C        F
Well, maybe I don't need this after all
          Am        G C F
It was a place for me

And all the books upon your shelf
Tell stories of who you are
But there's more to the picture son
He says you play it on your broken guitar
He says you play it on your broken guitar

Chorus:
Am      G      C       F
Don't take my word for it
Am      G      C       F
Don't take my word for it
Am      G      C        F    Am G C
Don't take my word for it, I do
F  Am G C
I do
F  Am G C F
I do

I wake up in the morning so
I can watch you dress for work
But there's more to the picture here
Than what we see or what we've heard
What we've seen or what we learn

Chorus - x2
