Teddy Thompson - The Things I Do
[Intro]
G   C   G   C
[Verse 1]
It's getting Gharder and harder to live with myself
The things I Cdo
I'm getting Gweaker in mental and physical health
The things I Cdo
[Verse 2]
And Dno one's coming to save me now
It's me that has to change somehow
One night out away from the therapist's Ccouch
OuchG  
[Verse 3]
I'm sinking lower and lower in my friend's eyes
The things I Cdo
And I've Gturned into somebody I despise
Oh, the things I Cdo
[Verse 4]
And my Dstandards are slipping day by day
I'll sleep with anyone who gets in my way
One bad hand away from a losing Cgame
ShameG  
[Bridge]
DShould I be thinking about myCself at a time like Bmthis?
I'm not CsureD  
I'm never happy, but at Cleast I get some Bmpeace
In Cthis war but I could use DmoreG__
The things I do
[Verse 5]
And Dno one's coming to save the day
I'll have my fun and then I'll pay
One night out away from an early Cgrave
And I need to be CmsavedG___
