[Verse 1]
E                    A          B
If there's something I don't say 
E                         A        F#m           C#m
Give me 'til the words come easy and not a minute longer
     E                         A                B
Now you've got to come to my rescue once in a while
                            E                              A
I know you like to phone it in but can you give a little backbone to it?
    F#m     C#m            
It'll go a long way

[Instrumental]
E  A  B    E  A  F#m  C#m x2

[Verse 2]
    E                  A           B
So don't do it if you don't have to 
E                       A      F#m  C#m
Everybody goes there sometimes
E                             A                  B                    
Oh let it be a bad dream and wake up in a cold sweat
                             E
I know you gotta do it your own way 
                 A
If you're ever gonna get through it, 
       F#m       C#m        B
Have you made your mind up yet?

[Bridge]
                            E          A   B
And if I give you 'til the words come easy 
                E                A   
Am I gonna be around to see the day?
B                                       E
I can't tell you how to, you gotta be ready
                      A      B
when the time comes running
               A       
Even if I'm not coming

[Verse 3]
E                       A           B
So if there's something I don't say 
E                            A     F#m           C#m
Give me 'til the words come easy and not a minute longer
     E                         A              B
Now you've got to come to my rescue one of these days
                            E                              A
I know you like to phone it in but can you give a little backbone to it?
    F#m    C#m
It'll go a long way

[Instrumental]
E  A  B    E  A  F#m  C#m x2
