xartist: Ben Folds Five song: Evaporated album: Whatever and Ever, Amen trans.: Brent Ritchey ([email protected]) (the whole song has a fourth running through it in the right hand. I think Ben might be using two pianos on this song. Instead of an F chord it's really C and F at middle C.) INTRO F F/A F/Bb F F/A F/Bb VERSE 1 F F/A What I've kept with me F/Bb /C And what I've thrown away F F/A And where the hell I've ended up F/A On this glary, random day /B /C F/D F/G Were the things I really cared about F/C F just left along the way F/Bb For being too pent up and proud VERSE 2 Woke up way too late feeling hungover and old And the sun was shining bright and I walked barefoot down the road Started thinking 'bout my old man It seems that all men want to get into a car and go F/A F/Bb any - where CHORUS Bbadd2 Cadd4 Cadd4/E F Here I stand sad and free Bbadd2 Cadd4 Cadd4/D /D /D# I can't cry I can't see Cadd4/E Bbadd2 Cadd4 What I've done Cadd4/D Dm7/A F/Bb F/A Oh God what have I done? PIANO INTERLUDE F F/A F/Bb (riff 1) F F/A F/Bb (riff 2) VERSE 3 Don't you know I'm numb, man No I can't feel a thing at all 'Cause it's all smiles and business these days And I'm indifferent to the loss I think that there's a soul somewhere that's leading me around I wonder if she knows which way is down CHORUS Here I stand, sad and free I can't cry, and I can't see What I've done, oh God what have I done? Abdim7 C Csus4 C BRIDGE Bb C F Bb I poured my heart out C Bb/F I poured my heart out F F/A F/Bb It evaporated see? F F/A F/Bb VERSE 4 Blind man on a canyon's edge of a panoramic scene Maybe I'm a kite that's flying high and random Dangling on a string, or slumped over in a vacant room Head on a stranger's knee F/Bb I'm sure back home they think I've lost my mind CHORUS Here I stand - sad and free I can't cry and I can't see What I've done Oh God what have I done?
