I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
Aadd4 Emin9add11
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
I'm just a basket case without you
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
Aadd4 Emin9add11
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
And now I'm just a basket case without him
You're begging for the truth
Gminadd9 D *Climb*
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
VERSE 2
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams
Oh send your armies in of robbers and thieves
(opt /)
To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore
You're begging for the truth
Gminadd9 D *climb*
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
And what good does it do
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
I don't say much and it'll stay that way
You've got a steel train touch, and i'm just a track you lay.
So i'll just stay right here underneath you.
I'm just a basket case, that's what we do.
