              Intro: Am - Em - F 
 
verse 1: 
Am              Em             F 
What if I said I'd break your heart? 
Am             Em               F                G(once) 
What if I said I have problems that made me, me? 
Am             Em               F 
What if I knew I would just rip your mind apart 
                  Em    G    F 
Would you let me out? 
Am             Em               F 
Maybe you can stop before you start 
Am             Em              F                   G 
Maybe you can see that I just may be too crazy to love 
Am             Em            F 
If I told you solitude fits me like a glove 
                  Em   G   F 
Would you let me out? 
 
Chorus: 
Dm  F          Am            G 
You ought to know where I'm coming from 
Dm  F        Am          G 
How I was alone when I burned my home 
Dm   F          Am           G        F 
And all of the pieces were torn and thrown 
            G              Em      Am 
You should know where I'm coming from 
 
verse 2: 
Am             Em              F 
What if I said I was just too young? 
Am             Em              F                          G 
What if I said I was built on bricks of carelessness and crumbs 
Am             Em             F 
What if I said I'd be gone before I could come 
                  Em   G   F 
Would you let me out? 
 
Chorus: 
Dm  F          Am            G 
You ought to know where I'm coming from 
Dm  F        Am          G 
How I was alone when I burned my home 
Dm   F          Am           G        F 
And all of the pieces were torn and thrown 
            G             Em       F 
You should know where I'm coming from 
 
Bridge: 
F           Am 
Your sought out ways 
    G       F 
My own, my own 
F               Am                G 
But you turn me away from my low blows 
                   F 
Boy, you should've known 
 
Chorus x2 
Dm  F          Am            G 
You ought to know where I'm coming from 
Dm  F        Am          G 
How I was alone when I burned my home 
Dm   F          Am           G        F 
And all of the pieces were torn and thrown 
            G              Em      Am    
You should know where I'm coming from 
 
Am - Em - F
