     F#
It's sitting by the overcoat
    G#m
The second shelf, the note she wrote
     E                B              F#
That I can't bring myself to throw away
    E
And also
F#                                 G#m
Reach she said for no one else but you
                        E
'Cause you won't turn away
      B               F#
When someone else is gone

I'm sorry about the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else'll take this shit from me
And I'm so terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away

           G#m           E              B
Yeah, it's me, yeah Well I can't get myself to
    F#
go away
         G#m            E
Hey, it's me, yeah well I can't get myself to go
  B
away
                    F#/A#
Oh God I shouldn't feel this way no

Chorus:
G#m
Reach down your hand in your pocket
 E
Pull out some hope for me
             B        F#                     G#m
It's been a long day, always say ain't that right
And no lord your hand won't stop it
E
Just keep you trembling
             B        F#                     E
It's been a long day, always say ain't that right

Well, I'm surprised if you believe
In anything that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
And you're so set in life, man, a pisser they're
waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what? So long

Chorus

Oh, ain't that right

It's me
Yeah, well, I can't get myself to go away
Hey, well, it's me
Yeah, well, I can't get myself to go away
Oh God, I shouldn't feel this way now

Chorus:
Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some hope for me
It's been a long day, always
Ain't that right

And no, Lord, your hand won't stop it
Just keep you trembling
It's been a long day, always
Ain't that right, now, yeah

Reach down your hand in your pocket, well
Reach down your hand right now
It's been a long day, always
Ain't that right

Reach down your hand in your pocket, well
Reach down your hand right now
It's been a long day, always
Ain't that right

Oh ain't that right
Well ain't that right, oh right, right
Oh child
Right, oh right, right, oh right, right
Oh child
Oh child
So come on
