INTRO: A(add11) – G(add9) – D5 (2x)
VERSE 1:
A(add11) G(add9) D5
I don't want to talk about it to you
A(add11) G(add9) D5
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
A(add11) B-7 G(add9) E7sus4
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
D5 A(add11) G(add9)
I'm just basket case without you
VERSE 2:
A(add11) G(add9) D5
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
A(add11) G(add9) D5
He had a steady hand, and I got used to it
A(add11) B-7 G(add9) E7sus4
And a glass cage heart, and invited me in
D5 A(add11) G(add9)
And now I'm just a basket case without him
CHORUS:
D5 G(add9)
You're begging for the truth
G-(add9) D5
So I'm saying it to you
G(add9)
I've been saving your place
G-(add9) (hold)
What good does it do?
D5 A(add11) G(add9)
Now I'm just a basket case
D5 A(add11) G(add9)
Now I'm just a basket case
VERSE 3:
A(add11) G(add9) D5
I don't say much, and it'll stay that way
A(add11) G(add9) D5
You got a steel train touch, and I'm just a track you lay
A(add11) B-7 G(add9) E7sus4
So I'll stay right here underneath you
D5 A(add11) G(add9)
I'm just a basket case; it’s what we do
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
D5
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams?
A(add11)
Oh, send your armies in of robbers and thieves
B-7 G(add9) D5 A(add11)
To steal the state I'm in, I don't want it anymore
(CHORUS)
D5 A(add11) G(add9)
Now I’m just a basket case
D5 A(add11) G(add9)
Now I’m just a basket case
