[C/G]I was out there missing steps, [G]when you swung around to me
[C/G]Best to land, not to [G]crash, pulling out too late
[C/G]Call on everyone you [G]ever knew, and plead
[F]Well I've been [C/G]the bum who's underfed
[F]I've been the [C/G]one who should've said
[F]Maybe I'm wrong and [C/G]I've always been that way

[Dm]Are you full of the feeling, [Am]don't doubt it when it's gone
[G]I could cut off [C/G](this reel?) and leave now
[Am]I could fill up with [G]air and scream so loud
[C/G]I think [Am]\'m going to
