Old Scab Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I sit each morning
Look at my [D]empty notebook
[G]The room is quiet
The air conditioning sounds [D]like [A]rain falling

[Verse 2]
[G]Manic- depressive composer
Robert Schumann
When he could not write
He'd get down on his knees
and he would [A]pray for help

[Verse 3]
[C#m]It's not as bad as eating[D] your own liver
[F#]But still, I'd like to think that
[G]there are better methods

[Verse 4]
[G]
I try to tackle the page that lay before me
But then I drift off and think about
the concept of [A]ben- wah balls
[G]I rouse myself and I finish
washing dishes
Make lists of errands
Make all my phone calls
And then I [A]pray for help

[Verse 5]
[C#m]But each time I try [D]to make a fresh stab
[F#]I end up just pi[G]cking at an old scab
