Notes:
- Use barre A for the verses, open A for the chorus.
- For the last D in the chorus ("I'm locked up..."), strum it once and let it ring.
- Change back to barre chords beginning with the A immediately after the chorus (on "try").
- For verse 3, use open chords, except the last A/Cm/Bm sequence.
- Again, listen to the song to hear how Marc plays it.
play twice): A Cm Bm (let last Bm ring before going into first verse)
I'm picking up these broken pieces again
I'm feeling like I'm lost and all I do is find you there
We've been here before
I'm never coming back again, not again
Tomorrow is too soon for you my dear
I pushed you oh so far away when all I do is want you near
Well I've been here before
Not coming back again
And I can't sleep
Because pretenders never sleep with a smile
It's hard enough to wake up after awhile
And even though I say I'm feeling fine
I'm locked up, loaded down, short a try
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you that I hold...nothing there above you
We've been around here before
We're never coming back again, not again
I love the way you walk
The way that you talk
The way you live
The way that you give me everything you promised you would
If I could, I'd be here
I can't
Well I can't sleep
Because pretenders never sleep with a smile
It's hard enough to wake up after awhile
And even though I say I'm feeling fine
I'm locked up, loaded down, short a try
I wish to God that I been there for you my dear
There's so much pushing me all around, I'd love to hold you near
And I don't expect you to stay
And I'm never gonna ask you why
Because I'm locked up, loaded down, short a try
I'm locked up, loaded down
And I'm short a try
