Tom: G
G Em
One way to react, when you’ve been abandoned
C G
Is to take yourself and put a dam in
Em
And over time, become an expert in engineering
C Em
Managing the flow and leakage of your feelings
[Verse 2]
G Em
There’s folks out there who claim there’s a deficience
C G
In practicing an extreme self sufficience
Em
But even once you prove that you can do it all yourself
C Em
It’s sometimes hard to let in someone else
[Chorus]
G Em C
Well I’ve still got problems, they haven’t gone away
D Am C
But you make me feel like I could be soft and it could be okay
G Em
And I can’t say when, but someday soon
D Am G
I’ll decide to have a problem in front of you
[Interlude]
C Em
C Em D
[Verse 3]
G Em
Down in the park, there is a fountain
C G
Where a younger me practiced my accounting
Em
I held my pen so tight that it was hard to see
C Em
My assets were my liabilities
[Chorus]
G Em C
Well I’ve still got problems, they haven’t gone away
D Am C
But you make me feel like I could be soft and it could be okay
G Em
And I can’t say when, but someday soon
D Am G
I’ll decide to have a problem in front of you
