Notes: 

- Use barre A for the verses, open A for the chorus. 
- For the last D in the chorus ("I'm locked up..."), strum it once and let it ring. 
- Change back to barre chords beginning with the A immediately after the chorus (on "try"). 
- For verse 3, use open chords, except the last A/C#m/Bm sequence.
- Again, listen to the song to hear how Marc plays it.


VERSE 1:

Intro (play twice): A   C#m   Bm  (let last Bm ring before going into first verse)

     A                C#m             Bm
I'm picking up these broken pieces again
     A               C#m      Bm
I'm feeling like I'm lost and all I do is find you there
      A         C#m
We've been here before
Bm                                A        C#m      Bm
I'm never coming back again, not again
A           C#m                 Bm
Tomorrow is too soon for you my dear
  A                C#m           Bm
I pushed you oh so far away when all I do is want you near
          A          C#m
Well I've been here before
Bm                    A       C#m       Bm
Not coming back again
Bm
And I can't sleep

CHORUS:

         D	                       A
Because pretenders never sleep with a smile
      D                             A
It's hard enough to wake up after awhile
     D	                           A
And even though I say I'm feeling fine
      D                              A        C#m       Bm
I'm locked up, loaded down, short a try

VERSE 2:

        A        C#m           Bm
Have I told you lately that I love you
        A              C#m      Bm
Have I told you that I hold...nothing there above you
       A                C#m
We've been around here before
       Bm                           A         C#m
We're never coming back again, not again
 Bm                 A
I love the way you walk
    C#m           Bm
The way that you talk
             A
The way you live
       C#m                 Bm                          A
The way that you give me everything you promised you would
      C#m           Bm
If I could, I'd be here
      A       C#m       Bm
I can't
Bm
Well I can't sleep

CHORUS:

         D	                       A
Because pretenders never sleep with a smile
      D                             A
It's hard enough to wake up after awhile
     D	                           A
And even though I say I'm feeling fine
      D                              A
I'm locked up, loaded down, short a try

VERSE 3:

   D                                        A
I wish to God that I been there for you my dear
        D                                   A
There's so much pushing me all around, I'd love to hold you near
       D            
And I don't expect you to stay
          A
And I'm never gonna ask you why
              D                              A
Because I'm locked up, loaded down, short a try
      D                
I'm locked up, loaded down
                 A        C#m        Bm
And I'm short a try
