INTRO: E B E A     E A E B

E                         A
Once I had a woman with a high hand
E                             Bm
And I let her treat me mighty low man
E                       A
She made a lover of my best friend
E                           Bm
And now he treats me like a has been


CHORUS 1:
A                B                E
Yes I've had my trouble with the world around me
A            B          E
No, I didn't give it my best
A            Bm                F#m
Now I get a chance to see some better weather
B                                          A              E
If you want to stay forever, why don't we talk about it now

INTRO

Guess my reputation says I'm flaky
Hey my whole situation's kinda shaky
Some people 'round here think I've lost it
They drew the line I stepped across it


CHORUS 2:

Yes, I've had my troubles in some certain circles
No I didn't bring it on myself
Now I get a chance to know they'll eat their words
And if you don't care what you've heard, why don't we talk about it now

INTRO


BRIDGE:
     F#
Sometimes I make it all up in my head
          A
There's a whole lotta things that shoulda never been said
     B                                            F#
But this new ground feels solid that I'm standin on

SOLO

I have done some things that might amaze you
But then again most things don't even faze you
You got a way of standin' steadfast
I got a way of runnin' dead last


CHORUS 3:

Yes, I've had my trouble tryin' to start all over
No, I didn't give it all I could
Now, I get a chance to know what love can heal
And i you wanna know the feelin', why don't we talk about it now

     B                             N/C
Yeah if you wanna know the feelin' why don't we talk about it now
