Am                                    Dm    Am
What is it that I need that I don't already have?
                                 E
Who was there in the past that I couldn't seem to save?
Dm                 E      Dm               E
But will I seem so smart, me and my broken heart
Am           F          E  Am
When I am pretending to be brave


[Verse 2]
Am                             E7           Am
What is there up ahead that I can't already see?
                       B7                     E
Startling as it seems, well, it's supposed to be
Dm               E
Where am I going next?
Dm             E
And if no one objects
Am                              Fm         E  Am
Just close the door and that'll be the end of me


[Bridge]
C
What is it that I lost that I don't really need

Some glasses for my eyes
       G
And an hour or two of speed
Dm             G        Dm             G
My hands don't blister, my hands don't bleed
F                    Am      F                    Am
But I'll never be contented, repent or ever be lamented
         Fm                Am
'Til I'm planted down like rotten crops
    F          E    Am
And covered up with weeds


[Verse 3]
Am
What is it that I want that I can't already taste?

A damson from a tree
Ddim               E7
A girl that I once chased
Am         Dm  E7       Dm           E7
A girl who ran away and wanted to be caught
Am                                      F           E   Am
Then bade farewell to my love like some merchandise she bought


[Bridge]
C
Things are going up like blasphemous prayers
                                        G
I burned up all my paper money on those London derrieres
Dm                G          Dm             G
Prayers and paper money will burn until you choke
     F                   Am
The things I should have said
     F                   Am
They were so easily left unspoken
  F                Am
I didn't break you down
    F          E Am
You were already broken


[Verse 4]
Am
What is it that I need that I don't already have?
                                 Dm             E
Who was there in the past that I couldn't even see?
Dm                 E      Dm               E
But will I seem so smart, me and my broken heart
Am           F          E  Am
When I am pretending to be free?
Am           F          E  Am
When I am pretending to be free?
Am   G       F          Em Am
When I am pretending to be free
