 This is how I play it. Doesn't mean it's right.
 
 [intro]
 C G Am G C D Em
 C G Am G C D G
 
 [verse1]
 C G C G
 He's got a thing about losin' control
 C G Em D
 carries it a mile just to see how far he'll go
 C G C G
 He brushes up his chops as he tries to fake a smile
 C G A
 A friend indeed when I need someone to stay a while
 C
 Someone to stay a while
 
 [chorus]
 F G C G
 You can bend my ear, we will talk all day
 Am Em D
 Just make sure I'm around when you finally got something to say
 
 C G Am G C D G (same as 2nd half of intro)
 
 [verse2]
 G C G C G
 He drops hints but he won't tell you what's really on his mind
 C G Em D
 But I know if I look it's easy to find
 C G C G
 He's got a way with his anger, a way he lets it show
 C G A
 Like the smoldering smoke when the fire's left to coals
 C
 Fire's left to coals.
 
 [chorus]
 F G C G
 You can take me down, you can show me your home
 C D G Em
 Not the place where you live, but the place where you belong
 F G C G
 You can bend my ear, we will talk all day
 Am Em D C
 Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got something to say
 
 [bridge]

 Bb C F G Em
 And what do you mean by I don't deserve this life?
 
 [verse3]
 C G C G
 Well, his door's always open, he's always got the time
 C G Em D
 To give a little something, even though he gets behind
 C G C G
 Your trips become his, and your lives are entwined
 C G A
 But like the horse with the junkie, it's all in your mind
 C
 All in your mind.
 
 [chorus]

 You can take me down, you can show me your home

 Not the place where you live, but the place where you belong

 You can bend my ear, we will talk all day

 Finally got something, finally got something, 
 C D Em
 Finally got something to say
 
 C G Am G C D G
