 verse1 -- (played with fig.1 until ...I can't mention) 
        (D)                                     (G)  (D) 
 It's hard to rely on my good intentions 
                  (D)                                              (G) (D) 
 when my head's full of things that I can't mention 
         G (played with fig. 3) 
 (it) Seem's I usually get things right 
                              D       G D 
 But I can't understand what I did last night

 verse2: 
               D                                            (G)  (D) 
 and it's hard to rely on my own good senses 
                     (D)                                             (G)  (D) 
 When I've missed so much that requires attention 
      G (played with fig.3) 
 I have to laugh with myself sometimes 
                          A7/9  A 
 and I can see that I'm not blind

 CHORUS: 
   (A)         D    Em    G 
 Does little relief 
   A                  D    Em    G 
 Give us reprieve  (o-oh) 
 A        G           D             Em       A 
     For all the things I've left behind 
         G    D          A                    (D)   (G)    (D) 
 I'm positive that I'm not blind 
  
 verse 3 (played like verse 1) 
 I'm not afraid things won't get better 
 But it feels like this is gone forever 
 You have to cry with your own good tears 
 You have to laugh with your own good cheers 
  
 verse 4 (played like verse 2) 
 and it's hard to rely on my good intentions 
 when my head's full of things that I can't mention 
 Seem's I usually get things right 
 But I can't understand what I did last night 
  
 Chorus 2: 
 Does  little relief 
 Give us reprieve 
 Imagining the world outside 
 I'm positive that I'm not blind 
  
 bridge: 
  
 G                                    A 
      I can't be hard on you 
 (A)                            G 
      'Cause you know I've been there too 
 (G)               Em 
      meant a lot of things with you 
                   A                           D     Em     G 
 Whoa-oh Life gives little relief 
   A                  D    Em  G   A 
 Give us reprieve     o-oh 
            G        D        Em       A 
 When everyone is cold outside 
       G           D               Em        A 
 I clench my fists and close my eyes 
     G     D           Em         A 
 Imagining the world outside 
       G          D         A                    D    G D      D      G D       D 
 And I can see that I'm not blind
