verse 1 
Bm                                   F#m 
So many times I've had that hopeless feeling 
    Em                  A                  D  A 
And no kind of booze or medicine helped at all 
    Bm                   F#m 
I'm drowning in too many contradictions 
    Em            A              D   G D 
I'm about to lose all my self control

             D Dsus4 D 
Water builds up 
            G        D 
Water boils oh-oh-oh-ver 
            D 
Gettin' too hot (gettin' too hot) 
                      A                    A7 
The pot's starting to whistle (woo woo woo woo) 
                      D                  Dmaj7 D7 
It's running over the edge (running over the   edge) 
                 G         D 
It's steaming up my aching head 
                  Bm 
The water getting higher 
          Em7          A7    D   G D 
There's a dam bursting in my soul 

Bm                                            F#m 
Too many no's when I really needed yes for an answer 
Em                   A              D  A 
Too many times on my sad and lonely way 
Bm                                            F#m 
Feels are comin' in, pressure building up too quickly 
        Em            A                 D   G D 
Working hard all day, never any time to play 

Bridge 
         G            D 
Buildin' up inside of me 
            G            D 
Deep down inside workin' free 
         G         D 
Buildin' up deep inside 
         Em7           A7 
Buildin' up, I hope it sighs
