LYRICS

I (A)don’t want to

(G)talk a bout it to you.

I’m not an o pen book that you can ri fle through,

the (A)cold, hard truth that you’ll (Bm7)see right to.

I’m just a (D)bas ket case with out you.

He’s not a (A)mag ic man and or a (G)per fect fit,

but had a stead y hand and I got used to it.

And a (A)glass cage heart and in (Bm7)vit ed me in,

and now I’m just a (D)bas ket case with out him.

You’re beg ging for the (G)truth,

so I’m say ing it to you.

I’ve been sav ing your place

and what (G)good does it do?

Now I’m just a (D)bas ket case.

Now I’m just a (D)bas ket case.

I (A)don’t say much and it ’ll (G)stay that way.

You got a steel train touch and I’m just a you lay.

So I’ll (A)stay right here and in (Bm7)un der neath you.

and now I’m just a (D)bas ket case that’s what do.

You’re beg ging for the (G)truth,

so I’m say ing it to you.

I’ve been sav ing your place

and what (G)good does it do?

Now I’m just a (D)bas ket case.

Now I’m just a (D)bas ket case.

Won’t some bod y come on in

Now I’m just a (D)bas ket case.

Now I’m a just (D)bas ket case.
