C                                G             F
If you're scared and it shows cause you're watching them grow
    C                           G      F
and traveling blows when you're out of road
    E             F      E              G
and when you jump up the earth wants you back

C                                 G     F       
Your resentment grows till you're all alone
    C                    G             F
but you're so smart how could they not know
            E        F        E            G
when you're standing there in good humored white
  
C               F
And how do you do it?
                 C
And make it seem effortless
                 F
When its all the stupid things
          C
So overwhelming to me
               G
Like paying my bills
                      F
Or showing up for work early
                    C
Or laughing at your jokes

C                        G        F
When you first said that anything goes
     C                   G             F
or a problems a task disguised in work clothes
    E             F         E        G
and that's when I knew that I had to move

C                    F
and why you do it?
                 C
and make it seem delicate
                 F
when its all the stupid things
          C
so damn confusing to me
                G
like talking it through
F              
controlling my temper
                G
like letting it go
F
saying please forgive me
                     C
For laughing at your jokes

# Bridge/Trumpet interlude

F          C               G
I have no idea what's been going on lately
F                C         G
and I just wish you'd come over and explain things

C           F
Why do they do it?
        C
show up anyway
                    F
when they know that damn well
                   C
theres no room for promotions out here
               G
and maybe it's wise
F
and maybe i'm just stupid
                     C
for laughing at your jokes
