     D   G                        D          G
I'm sick, I've felt this way for sometime now
                     D      G
I'm fed up with the daily grind
                    Em   A D
I'm trying to find relief
        G                   D           G
If you feel this way then clap your hands
                         D         G
Ever thought this was a backwards land
                        Em
What is keeping people mean?
        A
A bad scene

Chorus:
G              D               F#
Now that I've got my motives straight
          Bm        G
And I am thinking clearly
Em           F#m              F#            Bm
I'll sneak up to your window with my senses open
 Am
wide

I'm tired, on my shoulders weighing heavily
Is the full responsibility for your
troubles and your charms
Your betrayal goes around with me
Like the sword in some old tragedy
It is sticking in my back, people laugh

Chorus

G Gm                             D
I never really thought it would be like this
G Gm                        D     C          G A
I know its kind of hard but I'm glad that it is
        Bm G D
Oh I'm glad
          Bm G A
Yeah I'm glad

Chorus:
And I am thinking clearly,
I'll sneak up to your window
With my sense open wide

Never really thought it would be like this
I know its kind of hard but I'm glad that it is
Oh I'm glad...
