1ST VERSE:
Bm       G        A
I don't know how I'll get by without you
Bm       G                A
I'll be wrecked, I'll be ruined
Bm       G        A
I don't know how I'll get past tomorrow
Bm     G       A           Bm    G    A    A
I bet I'll be broken open wide
Bm       G       A
I don't think I told you I feel terrible
Bm         G               A
I've been sitting in this chair since Sunday
Bm                   G
In the same clothes with unwashed hair
 A                                 Bm    G    A    A
Nothing moving, I feel unusual
CHORUS:
 D    Bm               G
Holy Moses, I've been hanging over
 D    Bm               G
Holy Moses, I've been burned like a cigarette
 D    Bm               G
Oh Jehovah, I've been thrown a bone and
      D            Bm           G
I cannot remember when I was
A
 Happy
Bm    G    A    F#
2ND VERSE:
Bm       G       A
Can you feel my heart beating like a thunderball?
Bm       G          A
Can you hear every sound I'm making?
Bm                G
In the darkness, without breathing
 A                                 Bm    G    A    A
Nothing moving, I feel peculiar
Bm            G
I don't know, I can't tell
A
If I am myself
Bm       G           A
If I was a good girl, would I be here?
Bm       G
If I was so stupid
Bm            G
Then what was what you did?
Bm           G                A
You were not a good thing for me
CHORUS:
 D    Bm               G
Holy Moses, I've been hanging over
 D    Bm               G
Holy Moses, I've been burned like a cigarette
 D    Bm               G
Oh Jehovah, I've been thrown a bone and
      D            Bm           G
I cannot remember when I was
A        Bm    G    A
 Happy
A       Bm     G    A    A
 Happy, happy
Bm            G
I don't know, I can't tell
A
If I am myself
Bm            G
I don't know, I can't tell
A
If I am myself...
