Verse 1:

G                    G/F#        
I've been the needle and the thread,
        G/F                                  G/B    Cadd9 
Weaving figure eights and circles round your head,
G                        G/F#        
I've tried to laugh, but cry instead,
          G/F                             G/B   Cadd9
Patiently wait to hear those words you've never said.
G                    
Fumbling through your dresser drawer,
G/F#        
Forgot what I was looking for,
G/F                             G/B    Cadd9 
Try to guide me in the right direction;
G
Making use of all this time,
G/F#
Keeping everything inside,
G/F                            G/B    Cadd9 
Close my eyes, and listen to you crying.

Chorus:
G               G/F
I'm lifting you up,I'm letting you down;
Em7               C    Cmaj7
I'm dancing till dawn, I'm fooling around.
G                  D/F#
I'm not giving up, I'm making your love,
Am7                 C             Cmaj7
This city's made us crazy, and we must get out.

Verse 2:
G              G/F#        
"This is not goodbye," she said,
            G/F                 G/B    Cadd9 
"It is just time for me to rest my head."
G                      G/F#     
She does not walk, she runs instead,
            G/F                G/B    Cadd9 
Down these jagged streets and into my bed, when I was

G                    
Fumbling through your dresser drawer,
G/F#        
Forgot what I was looking for,
G/F                             G/B    Cadd9 
Try to guide me in the right direction;
G
Making use of all this time,
G/F#
Keeping everything inside,
G/F                            G/B    Cadd9 
Close my eyes, and listen to you crying.

I'm lifting you up,I'm letting you down;
Em7               C    Cmaj7
I'm dancing till dawn, I'm fooling around.
G                  D/F#
I'm not giving up, I'm making your love,

Bridge:
D            Em7            Am7        C
There's only so much I can do for you, oh
D         Em7                      F7
After all of the things you've put me through.
