A (x0222x)
Ebdim (xx1212)
You better listen anybody
A Gbm (2442xx)
'Cause I'm gonna make it clear
A Ebdim
That my life is unimportant
A Gbm
What I've done I did through fear
A Ebdim
There's a river running thru me
A Gbm
Only tide I tried to hide
A Ebdim
None the less I could not shake it
A Gbm
And in the end it swept aside
B
All my feeble unimportance
D7
I can't say "never mind"
A B Gbm
Can't you hear me mother calling you?
A B Gbm
I'm cold, I'm deaf, I'm blind
A B Gbm
And it's only 'cause you're lucky
A B Gbm
People know that's no fine
D Ebdim A Gbm
I didn't think I'd be an actor
D B Gbm (N.C.)
What I am I'll leave behind
(repeat intro)
(verse 2)
You better listen anybody
Cause it's me and you that's it
And in case you find your maker
Perhaps you'll plea for us a bit
All my sick is in my stomach
All my sweat is clearly fear
And if you could see inside me
I don't think you'd have me here
Tell the helmsman veer to starboard
Bring this ship around to port
And if the sea was not so salty
I could sink instead of walk
And in case a passing stranger
Who was standing where I fell
Tell the truth you never knew me
And in truth it's just as well
