The whole intro is with the F#m chord in the background. I didn't bother to tab
that out, though.

F#m Bm E F#m
If I fall along the way, will you pick me up and dust me off

Bm E F#m
And if I get too tired to make it, be my breath so I can walk

Bm E F#m
And if I need some other lovin, you'll give me more than I can stand

Bm A
When my smile gets old and faded, wait around I'll smile again

A A/G# F#m Bm
Shouldn't be so complicated, just hold me and then

Esus
Well just hold me again


CHORUS:

A A/G# F#m7 Dsus2
Can... you help me? I'm bent. I'm so scared that I'll never


E A A/G# F#m7
Get put back together. Keep breaking me in, and this is how we will end

Dsus2 F#m
With you and me........ bent


The next verse follows the same chord progression. Here are the lyrics:

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep?
Could you paint me better off?
Could you sympathize with my needs?
I know you think I need a lot, I started out clean but I'm jaded.
Just phoning it in, just breakin my skin.

CHORUS (Same as before)

BRIDGE:

F#m7........Dsus2


F#m7 Dsus2 F#m7
Start bending me. It's never enough

Dsus2 F#m7 Dsus2
Till I feel all your pieces..... Start beinding me

D#m Dmaj F#m
Keep bending me until I'm completely broken in


The "Shouldn't be so complicated, just touch me...." part is the same as last time. The only extra stuff is:


F#m7 Dsus2 E A
With you and me landing without understanding. Hell I go there....

F#m7 Dsus2
With you and me........... bent

Just continue and fade out with Dsus2.



That should do it. Questions and comments should be directed toward jona@ufl.edu
