Blue October - The Answer: chords

Am                 Em
If I can't crawl inside of you,
G                           Am
I'm laughing with a broken face,
Am                   Em
I stumble across my self-esteem,
        G                                     Am
But to picture the pleasure is making me want my
space
   C                                    Am
Understand that God wrapped you like a bow
        C
But in my head, there're some shelves
that need cleaning
                        Am
From basement to ceiling, control, control
                            Em
If what you're seeing is an open book
                           G
That's great 'cause I'm an open book
              Am
But I'm real shy
Am
Now there's a part of me seeking
                           Em
And desperately needing to open up
                             G
That's strange 'cause I'm an open book,
           Am
a confused boy

Am
I'm an automatic steeple for depressed
and lonely people
                       Em
My heart, while in its cage
                         G
Give and not receive a thing
But the only funny thing:
                                  Am
I don't know how to give myself advice

Chorus:
Am
And I've got this post-traumatic thing
                        Em
This tattoo of a ring around my wedding finger
And that's where I want to state this claim
           G
That I've got to learn to live and dream
                      Am                C
Before I go and get myself in love, in love
                                               Am
Before, before, before I go and get myself in love

There's Zoloft, Welbutrin
There's Paxil that's proven, no side effects
But the rest left unnamed
'Cause they worked like a charm on me
But when your savings is drying
You can't stop from crying
You've got to suck it up
You're not her buttercup
You're not her favorite book

I'm an automatic steeple for depressed
and lonely people
My heart, while in its cage
Give and not receive a thing
But the only funny thing:
I don't know how to give myself advice

Chorus:
And I've got this post traumatic thing
This tattoo of a ring around my wedding finger
And that's where I want to state this claim
That I've got to learn to live and dream
Before I go and get myself in love, in love
Before, before, before I go and get myself in love
