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
