Chasing Rainbows

C                 G           Am               F
   Just heard the news today,    let yourself down once again
C               G              Em                  F
   Trusted your feelings in a place that no one goes
C              G         Am         F
   Will you do anything,    to satisfy your so-called
C                        G                 F              F
   friend? There's something you ought to know, before you explode

Am            F                G                C   G
All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows
Am                 G             F             G
Trusting those around you is an easy thing to do
Am               F              G                 C     G
I'm not saying don't believe in someone that you don't know
Am                G                  F                     G
Just don't go on thinking that the whole world tells the truth

C                  G   Am           F
   It's all fucked up,     being reserved and quiet
C               G             Em                F
   She doesn't understand the message that you send
C                 G             Am                          F
   Don't give it all away somewhere,    sometimes there's someone
C              G                  F                   F
   Who can replace that state of mind, you never give it time [never]

Am            F                G                C   G
All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows
Am            G            F                   G
Letting everybody crawl inside your heart and mind
Am              F                G                     C   G
Kicking you is easy when you're down that's where the weak go
Am                 G          F                 G
To release their anger on someone who will not try to stand up
F        G      C
and give them a fight

Listen to the CD for the strumming, I'm at work *ahem* so I can't do it all
right now - I play it capo'd on the 2nd but only cos I can't sing well ;) to
play with the recording just leave it open (I think).  Feel free to correct the
lyrics, this is how I worked 'em out off the cd, but I'm an old man of 24 and you
know what they say, the hearings the first thing to go!  Theres no real intro, it
kicks straight into the verse after a couple of strums of the Am chord.

Theres things that I regret
Like being called a nervous wreck
And working up another sweat for you

There's nothing I can do
With counterparts and bleeding hearts
And all the things that fall apart for you
