[Vers]
So I s[G]sit on this t[Cadd9]table for [G]one
And po[G]pour me a [Cadd9]drink that'll [G]last
[G]I'm not d[Cadd9]drunk I just [G]miss being young
And [Dsus4]I grew o[Cadd9]old too f[G]fast
My wif[G]wife she breaks[Cadd9]breaks and she [G]bends
My chi[G]ldren th[Cadd9]ey don't under[G]stand
[G]I came he[Cadd9]here tonight i[G]in search of a friend
But [Dsus4]I'm the [Cadd9]invisibl[G]invisible man
[Chorus]
'cause I've [C]swallowed my tongue
and I've polished my gun
and I've s[G]sat on my secrets for years
with my s[C]stiff upper lip
my composure won't slip
and I've [D]hidden each silent salty tear
Intro riff
[Vers]
I s[G]sit on this t[Cadd9]table for [G]one
And[G]And I have [Cadd9]been here befo[G]before
[G]It's a li[Cadd9]little less th[G]than I'd had in mind
But [Dsus4]I wouldn[Cadd9]wouldn't ask f[G]for more
And [G]my mother sh[Cadd9]she taught [G]me to write
And m[G]my father[Cadd9]father he taught me [G]his trade
[G]And I wis[Cadd9]wish that they [G]could both be here tonight
To s[Dsus4]see what [Cadd9]a mess I[G]I've made
[Chorus]
'cause I've [C]swallowed my tongue
and I've polished my gun
and I've s[G]sat on my secrets for years
with my s[C]stiff upper lip
my composure won't slip
and I've [D]hidden each silent salty tear
[Vers]
m[C]my sons and my daughters don't know me at all
I've [G]dug in trenches and put up walls
I [C]whisper I love you each night as they sleep
But n[Dsus4]no one hears me when I speak
from this[G] t[Cadd9]able for[G] one
Strum this once
So I [G]si[*]sit on this [Cadd9]table [*]for o[G]ne[*]
I won't [G]go[*] till they t[Cadd9]ell me[*] to le[G]av[*]e
[G] W[*]Why'd they [Cadd9]teach [*]me to f[G]ol[*]low my dreams
When [Dsus4]dreams[*]dreams are [Cadd9]all th[*]ey can b[G]e?[*]
