D5It's hard to rely on my good intentions
When my head's full of things that I can't mention
GIt seems I usually get things right
But I can't understand what I did last night
(INTRO AGAIN)
D5And it's hard to rely on my own good senses
When I miss so much that requires attention
GI have to laugh at myself sometimes
And I can't see that I'm not blind
A
CHORUS:
There's little D5relief
Give us reprieve
Ho-oh
For aGll the things I've left behind
I'm positive that I'm Anot blind

one the B string)
B ---8-7-5-3------------------
BACK TO INTRO
D5I'm not afraid that things won't get better
But it feels like this has gone on forever
GYou have to cry with your own good tears
You have to laugh with your own good cheers
D5And it's hard to rely on my good intentions
When my heads full of things that I can't mention
GIt seems I usually get things right
But I can't understand what I did last night
CHORUS
AI can't be hard on you
GCos I know I've been there too
AA lot of things for you
Ho-oh
CHORUS
INTRO TO END

It's hard to rely on my good intentions

When my head's full of things that I can't mention

It seems I usually get things right

But I can't understand what I did last night

(INTRO AGAIN)

And it's hard to rely on my own good senses

When I miss so much that requires attention

I have to laugh at myself sometimes

And I can't see that I'm not blind

CHORUS:

There's little relief

Give us reprieve

Ho-oh

For all the things I've left behind

I'm positive that I'm not blind

Here's the little riff played over the D5 chord in the chorus (it's only

one the B string)

B ---8-7-5-3------------------

BACK TO INTRO

You have to laugh with your own good cheers

And it's hard to rely on my good intentions

When my heads full of things that I can't mention

It seems I usually get things right

But I can't understand what I did last night

CHORUS

I can't be hard on you

Cos I know I've been there too

A lot of things for you

Ho-oh
