  			G                         D 
The lamp is broken on the mantle 
G                                D 
My mind is blown and I'm turnin' away 
G                            D 
It's getting more than I can handle 
G                            D 
It's getting more than I can say 

C          D               G 
I couldn't stay here if I wanted 
C          D              Em 
I couldn't stay here if I tried 
C         D          G       G/F#  Em 
You were always dissapointed in    me 
C             D                G      D   C 
Guess I could never do nothing right 
C             D                G       
Guess I could never do nothing right

G                         D 
And I work hard to make a living 
G                                D 
To make the good-life dream come true 
G                              D 
But you wanted more than I was giving 
G                              D 
I guess that's more than I can do 

(Chorus) 
C          D               G 
I couldn't stay here if I wanted 
C          D              Em 
I couldn't stay here if I tried 
C         D          G       G/F#  Em 
You were always dissapointed in    me 
C             D                G      D   C 
Guess I could never do nothing right 
C             D                G       
Guess I could never do nothing right 

G                                       D 
You cut my heart like the cards on the table 
G                                       D 
Seemed like fun for you to keep playin' on 
G                                   D 
Well, I let you in as long as I was able 
G                                 D 
Now all your games have done been run 

(Chorus) 
C          D               G 
I couldn't stay here if I wanted 
C          D              Em 
I couldn't stay here if I tried 
C         D          G       G/F#  Em 
You were always dissapointed in    me 
C             D                G      D     C 
Guess I could never do nothing right in your eyes 
C             D                G       
Guess I could never do nothing right
