This is how I play it.  Doesn't mean it's right. 
 
{intro} 
C G Am G C D Em 
C G Am G C D G 
 
{verse1} 
C          G           C      G 
He's got a thing about losin' control 
C            G                Em            D 
carries it a mile just to see how far he'll go 
C                 G           C               G 
He brushes up his chops as he tries to fake a smile 
  C             G           A 
A friend indeed when I need someone to stay a while 
C 
Someone to stay a while 
 
{chorus} 
F               G            C        G 
You can bend my ear, we will talk all day 
          Am       Em              D 
Just make sure I'm around when you finally got something to say 
 
C G Am G C D G  (same as 2nd half of intro) 
 
{verse2} 
G        C                  G               C             G 
He drops hints but he won't tell you what's really on his mind 
      C         G         Em      D 
But I know if I look it's easy to find 
           C            G        C              G 
He's got a way with his anger, a way he lets it show 
         C          G              A 
Like the smoldering smoke when the fire's left to coals 
C 
Fire's left to coals. 
 
{chorus} 
F               G             C            G 
You can take me down, you can show me your home 
C                   D                 G               Em 
Not the place where you live, but the place where you belong 
F               G            C        G 
You can bend my ear, we will talk all day 
          Am       Em                 D                        C 
Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got something to say 
 
{bridge} 
C D G Em 
 
C D G Em 
 
C D  
                        ? 
Bb                      C       F            G      Em 
And what do you mean by I don't deserve this life? 
 
{verse3} 
          C             G          C              G 
Well, his door's always open, he's always got the time 
   C             G               Em             D 
To give a little something, even though he gets behind 
     C            G             C         G 
Your trips become his, and your lives are entwined 
             C              G            A 
But like the horse with the junkie, it's all in your mind 
C 
All in your mind. 
 
{chorus} 
F               G             C            G 
You can take me down, you can show me your home 
C                   D                 G               Em 
Not the place where you live, but the place where you belong 
F               G            C        G 
You can bend my ear, we will talk all day 
          Am       Em                 D                        C 
Just make sure I'm around when you've finally got something to say 
 
C G Am G C D G 
 
C           G          Am          G  
Finally got something, finally got something,  
C           D            Em 
Finally got something to say 
 
C G Am G C D G
