Song - Forest Whittaker
Standard Tuning - E, A, D, G, B, and E
No Capo.
CYou starEmted a fire
FThat was never supposed Gto burn out
CYou starEmted a band
FThat was cool for a whilGe, but it turned pretty bland
CI starteEmd a fight
FWith a neighbour next doGor and his pesky wife?
CYou starEmted a job
FThat you hate when you’rGe sober, and hate even more when you’re not.
FAnd I knGow, you Chate Gme tooAm;G  F  
FYou always say yGou do.C  
CYou moveEmd to Japan
FThought a clean bill of Ghealth and a camera could show you the plan
CI bought Ema bird
FThat repeats what I say, Gbut, “I’m lonely” is all that he’s heard.
CYou founEmd a guy
FThat is clearly the oppoGsite of me, with a black motorbike
CI dicked Emaround
FBut it’s just like a movGie whose picture is off with the sound.
FAnd I knGow, you Chate Gme tooAm.....G  F  
FYou always say yGou do.C  
CYou starEmted to write
FIt was subtle at first, Gbut the danger was clearly inside
CI don’t Emreply 
FDue to lack of an ego, aGnd laziness, it cuts like a knife
CYou say Emthat you’re good
FHad a baby with biker, aGnd named him “Forest Whitaker”
CI’m layiEmng low
FOn the probable chance yGou convince me to give him a home 
FAnd I knGow, you Chate Gme tooAm.......G......F  
FYou always say yGou do.C  
FAnd I knGow, you Chate Gme tooAm.......G.....F  
FYou always say yGou do.C
