CHROME
(capo on 3rd fret)
intro:   G       C   G    G(2x)
It's not the thiGngs that I can't change, Cthat bother mGe
It's not the things that I don't know, Cthat undermine mGe
It's not the thing that I can't hold
G/F#or the bEmalancing wire that broke, that thDrows me
It's not the faGct that you walked out, Cthat bewilGders me
It's not the sleep that I can't steal, Cthat wires mGe
It's not the coffee or the pills
it's G/F#not this sEmpace that I can't fill that kiDlls me
CHORUS:
We'll in cCase you didn't know I've got a hGeart made of chrome
It's been bEment 'til it was twDisted
And in cCase you didn't know I've got a hGeart made of chrome
It's been buEmrned, but it's still wDilling to try
And shCine  (and shine[second chorus])
 G   C   G   G(2x)
It's not the drunks and their devices, that provoke me
It's not the politics of love and distance,
and all that that shit evokes in me
It's not the Sunday morning fights
or this soul on ice, that numbs me
It's not the passing of another Indian summer, that saddens me
It's not the shutter in the undertow, that bears down on me
It's not everything ending as it began
or the loneliness that grins that destroys me
CHORUS
 G   G   C   C(2x) G
