INTRO
VERSE
I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
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
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
And now I'm just a basket case without him
CHORUS
You're begging for the truth
Gm D (G/D A/D)
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
I don't say much and it'll stay that way
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay
So I'll stay right here underneath you
I'm just a basket case and that's what we do
CHORUS
You're begging for the truth
Gm D (G/D A/D)
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
BRIDGE
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams
Oh send your armies in of robbers and thieves
To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore
CHORUS
You're begging for the truth
Gm D (G/D A/D)
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
