Tom : G
G Am Em C
I'm a first timer wishing I was someone else
G C D G
When I see you by yourself
G Am Em C
In a coridor where you find yourself not blocked
G C D G
By the doors you locked
Am C
You won't do what the doctor ordered
Am C D
You won't see someone else
Am C
Come on back to me
Am C Em
My pride tomorrow
G Am Em C
You say you feel hollow and you know it's cause you are
G C D G
Well at least so far
[Solo]
G Am Em C G C D G Am C
I think of you with hesitation
Am C D
I think of you too hard
Am C
Come on back to me
Am C Em
But don't make me sorry
G Am Em C
I'm a first timer wishing I'd been someone else
G C D G Em
Seeing you by yourself
G C D G
Seeing you by yourself
