[Intro] A  G2  D  A  G2  D

[Primeira Parte]

  A             G2                 D
I don't want to talk about it to you
        A
I'm not an open book 
            G2        D
That you can rifle through
    A
The cold hard truth
            Bm7        G2  Em7
That you'll see right to
           D          A            G2   
I'm just a basket case without you

           A              G2       D
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
          A                     G2       D
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
      A                    Bm7         G2  Em7
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
                   D          A            G2
And now I'm just a basket case without him

[Refrão]

D                    G2   
You're begging for the truth
Gm                    D  G/D  A/D
So I'm saying it to you
                      G2   
I've been saving your place
         Gm
And what good does it do
               D           A  G2   
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A  G2   
Now I'm just a basket case

[Segunda Parte]

  A                        G2           D
I don't say much and it'll stay that way
         A
You got a steel train touch
                G2           D
And I'm just a track you lay
        A               Bm7        G2  Em7
So I'll stay right here underneath you
           D             A                 G2
I'm just a basket case and that's what we do

[Refrão]

D                     G2   
You're begging for the truth
Gm                    D  G/D  A/D
So I'm saying it to you
D                        G2   
I've been saving your place
         Gm
And what good does it do
               D          A  G2   
Now I'm just a basket case

[Ponte]

               D
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams
             A
Oh send your armies in of robbers and thieves
             Bm        G2
To steal the state I'm in
     D/F#            G2
I don't want it anymore

( A  Bm7  A7/C# )

[Refrão Final]

D                     G2   
You're begging for the truth
Gm                    D  G/D  A/D
So I'm saying it to you
D                     G2   
I've been saving your place
         Gm
And what good does it do
               D           A  G2   
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A  G2   
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A  G2   
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A  G2   
Now I'm just a basket case
