<< Back to Sara Bareilles Song List
Version 1
[Intro]
A Gsus2 D A Gsus2 D
[Verse]
A Gsus2 D
I don't want to talk about it to you
A Gsus2 D
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
A Bm7 Gsus2 Em7
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
D A Gsus2
I'm just a basket case without you
A Gsus2 D
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
A Gsus2 D
But had a steady hand and I got used to it
A Bm7 Gsus2 Em7
And a glass cage heart and invited me in
D A Gsus2
And now I'm just a basket case without him
[Chorus]
D Gsus2
You're begging for the truth
Gm D (G/D A/D)
So I'm saying it to you
Gsus2
I've been saving your place
Gm
And what good does it do
D A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
D A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
[Verse]
A Gsus2 D
I don't say much and it'll stay that way
A Gsus2 D
You got a steel train touch and I'm just a track you lay
A Bm7 Gsus2 Em7
So I'll stay right here underneath you
D A Gsus2
I'm just a basket case and that's what we do
[Chorus]
D Gsus2
You're begging for the truth
Gm D (G/D A/D)
So I'm saying it to you
D Gsus2
I've been saving your place
Gm
And what good does it do
D A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
[Bridge]
D
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams
A
Oh send your armies in of robbers and thieves
Bm Gsus2 D/F# Gsus2 A Bm7 A7/C#
To steal the state I'm in I don't want it anymore
[Chorus]
D Gsus2
You're begging for the truth
Gm D (G/D A/D)
So I'm saying it to you
D Gsus2
I've been saving your place
Gm
And what good does it do
D A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
D A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
D A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
D A Gsus2
Now I'm just a basket case
