Intro
A G9 D A G9 D
Verse
  A             G9              D 
I don't want to talk about it to you
        A                        G9     D                               
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
    A                           Bm7        G9 Em7              
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
           D          A           G9                          
I'm just a basket case without you
           A              G9    D
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
          A                     G9    D     
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
      A                    Bm7         G9 Em7   
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
                   D          A           G9
And now I'm just a basket case without him
Chorus
D                    G9                    
You're begging for the truth
Gm                    D ( G/D A/D )                   
So I'm saying it to you
                      G9                  
I've been saving your place
         Gm                               
And what good does it do
 
               D           A G9
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A G9              
Now I'm just a basket case
Verse
  A                        G9        D  
I don't say much and it'll stay that way
         A                                 G9        D
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay
        A               Bm7        G9 Em7     
So I'll stay right here underneath you
           D             A                 G9
I'm just a basket case and that's what we do
Chorus
D                     G9                   
You're begging for the truth
Gm                    D ( G/D A/D )               
So I'm saying it to you
D                        G9                
I've been saving your place
         Gm                               
And what good does it do
               D          A G9               
Now I'm just a basket case
Bridge
               D                         
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams
             A                          
Oh send your armies in of robbers and thieves
             Bm        G9   D/F#            G9 A Bm7 A7/C#
To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore
Chorus
D                     G9                   
You're begging for the truth
Gm                    D (G/D A/D )                 
So I'm saying it to you
D                     G9                  
I've been saving your place
         Gm                               
And what good does it do
               D           A G9              
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A G9         
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A G9        
Now I'm just a basket case
               D           A G9        
Now I'm just a basket case
