[Chorus]
[Fm]Hey, I heard it from the s[C#]tate
They told me you were[Bbm] never gonna let me get aw[Eb]ay
And if you took me [Fm]fishing you would never give me [C#]bait
I had to get a[Bbm]way, I had to get aw[Eb]ay, ay, ay
[Fm]Hey, you try to compens[C#]ate
For thinking with your [Bbm]one brain I should decapit[Eb]ate
You showed me all your [Fm]letters that I should've confis[C#]cated
Both of my eyes were [Bbm]weighted and I had to get aw[Eb]ay
[Verse 1]
[Fm]Talking to ears that have been deaf[C#]
For as long as I c[Bbm]an remember
[Fm]A self-medicated h[C#]andicap, so I [Bbm]speak to myself
[Fm]And I try so har[C#]d to get his stupid deaf [Bbm]ears to hear
That I've become illiterate, I've become [Fm]dumb
(Ya [C#]hear me? Ya [Bbm]hear me? Ya hear me?)
[Pre-Chorus]
When I [Fm]come through, you were da[C#]rk blue
And I sa[Bbm]ved you from your d[Eb]arker days
[Fm]Born to take care [C#]of you
Or I th[Bbm]ought so, maybe it was just a ph[Eb]ase
[Chorus]
[Fm]Hey, I heard it from the s[C#]tate
They told me you were[Bbm] never gonna let me get aw[Eb]ay
And if you took me [Fm]fishing you would never give me [C#]bait
I had to get a[Bbm]way, I had to get aw[Eb]ay, ay, ay
[Fm]Hey, you try to compens[C#]ate
For thinking with your [Bbm]one brain I should decapit[Eb]ate
You showed me all your [Fm]letters that I should've confis[C#]cated
Both of my eyes were [Bbm]weighted and I had to get aw[Eb]ay
[Verse 2]
[Fm]Shot down by a guy I never w[C#]anted to kiss
Not gonna hear the [Bbm]singing of his ringing triumphing
[Fm]And I'm chugging along in a [C#]train
And I'm heading the wrong way, and[Bbm] I'm a train wreck
[Fm]And my heart goes "beat, beat, beat[C#]"
To the music of this [Bbm]sad, same song
It's quite depress[Fm]ing, there is no fixing to the p[C#]roblem
When you're talking t[Bbm]o an idiot
[Pre-Chorus]
When I [Fm]come through, you were da[C#]rk blue
And I sa[Bbm]ved you from your d[Eb]arker days
[Fm]Born to take care [C#]of you
Or I th[Bbm]ought so, maybe it was just a ph[Eb]ase
[Fm]Baby, only m[C#]aybe
Just a d[Bbm]reamer, but I s[Eb]oon found out
Heard the [Fm]train tracks were behin[C#]d me
Tried to war[Bbm]n me, but both of my ears went out
[Pre-Chorus]
When I [Fm]come through, you were da[C#]rk blue
And I sa[Bbm]ved you from your d[Eb]arker days
[Fm]Born to take care [C#]of you
Or I th[Bbm]ought so, maybe it was just a ph[Eb]ase
