I And I

 
              
 
Intro: Gm C Eb D  (2x) 
 
 
verse 1: 
 
            Gm 
I've got a stage and a mic 
        Cm 
Which I used to say  
       Eb        D 
things you won't like 
       Gm 
But I spent years  
                Cm  Eb D 
thinking I was alone 
(Thinking I was alone) 
      Gm 
Now I know now I know 
that I'm not that I'm not 
    Cm 
And I'm sharing that 
Eb           D 
comfort with those 
Gm 
  Who think that  
        Cm  Eb D 
hope is lost 
 
 
Refrain:
 
Eb            Bb 
Oh and I'm so proud 
of where I am 
    Eb 
I'm learning where 
to stand or to 
      Gm      F 
tread lightly so 
 
 
 
Bb       F/A 
hold back 
     Gm 
Steadfast you've  
             G/B 
gotta breathe 
    Cm 
And be content 
just count to ten 
     F 
Like all the experts  
        Bb F/A 
say and if 
    Gm 
The drugs don't  
            G/B 
seem to work 
             Cm 
Then they've got a  
padded room for you 
   Ebm 
To get your just deserve 
 
 
Post Chorus: Gm C Eb D (2x) 
 
 
verse 2: 
 
Gm 
If I could chose 
my own name 
    Cm 
I'd chose something  
       Eb       D 
that's bold and fits 
     Gm 
Like anger aggression 
or cunningly brash 
        Cm 
By the skin of my teeth 
         Eb         D 
but with timing and class 
Gm 
  Oh woe is me (Oh woe is me) 
Cm            Eb     D 
  Oh woe were us (Oh woe were us) 
    Gm 
But not anymore we stand 
up for ourselves 
           Cm 
We're like captains at war 
          Eb              D 
we'll get followed to hell 
 
 
(Repeat Refrain)
 
(Repeat Chorus 1)
