HOW I ENDED UP HERE - Jason Gray
(TUNING C, G, C, F, A, D) - 6/8 time signature
INTRO - {finger picked} A A\C# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm
There's something I'd like to confess
At the risk of exposing my faults
But I'm starting to find that most of the time
I just don't like people at all
When I saw you five minutes ago
I was afraid you might talk off my ear
I panicked inside and decided to hide
And that's how I ended up here
Crouching behind the live lobster tank
Hoping you'd just pass me by, oh...
That's how I ended up here
D\C E A A\C# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm
That's how I ended up here
Oh how I wish I could say
It's my first time to hide in this spot
But with all of the people I try to avoid
I find myself down here a lot
{stop time} * A D\C A
I mean, just look at these guys in the tank
F#m A\D D\C * {end stop time}
With the red rubber bands 'round their arms
If they don't open up and just keep to themselves
They won't do anyone harm
So I screen my calls, don't answer the door
Sometimes wish I could disappear,
oh...that's how I ended up here
That's how I ended up ..
{strummed}
Building a wall so no one could bother me
Living my life in isolation
Opening up to only those close to me
Nobody's close to me, what have I done?
{this part is finger picked again}

See, I really want to be known
But I'm not quite as strong as the fear
That you won't understand the fool that I am
And that's how I ended up here
That's how I ended up here
D\C E A A\C# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm
That's how I ended up here
