A     E     D              A
You arrived as I was leaving
     E                   D        A
You were filled with that popular feeling
  E    D                A
I could tell by the walk
  E    D                 A
I have heard about the walk
D                A      D                  A
Think to yourself , like  when you're in bed
  E          D              A
Something clobbered me in the head
   D        A   E              D
Am  I ready  to leave, you said
  A    E                 D
I have exhausted this view
 A     E                  A
I have exhausted this view

[Chorus]
     D                   A
I was flattered but ambivalent
             D               A
I was captive and I was spent
     D                      A
I was wounded the other day
   E
But you
    D        A
You  couldn't see me:
   E         A
I'm really me

[Verse 2]
   E              D          A
Of all the stories I've heard
    E            D            A
The  one with the injured bird
 E      D        A
Seems to me most  true
   E      D        A
It seems to me most true
   D       A           D            A
You  kept it warm, and safe in a box
  E            D                        E
A grass and old shattered bent cardboard box
    D           D     E         D
Then you let the cat over the fence
  A           E    D          A
It doesn't get any better than this
             E     D          A
It doesn't get  any better than this

[Chorus]
     D                     A
I was wounded the other day
   E
But you
   D         A
You couldn't  see me:
   E         A
I'm really me
