Intro:  D  B7  Em  C 
        G  C   G  C 

Verse 1:  Same chords as intro.  Listen to the song for strumming patterns. 

I guess you could say  I'm a little afraid.  I'm a little afraid. 

What if you go away?  I've seen it before.  I've been here before. 

If I have to love myself, tell me how to love myself, tell me how to love myself. 

I just want to see that as a person you want me, as a person you want me. 

Bridge:  Am  Em  F#m7  F 

But I'm feeling the pain of all these bags in the way, and I'm thinking you're just gonna run away 

Chorus:  C2  Em*  D 

and I can't catch you 

I can't catch you 

Verse 2:  D  B7  Em  C 

I guess I would say that i want you to stay, that I want you to stay 

'Cause you have this strange knack, adds a glow to my black, as you chase it all away. 

And I hope that you can see I will someday leave these things.  I'm waiting to be free. 

Bridge - same.  Chorus - same. 

Funky solo part - Sorry, I don't know.
