A                 D
I feel like I'm an acrobat,
             A               E
I work the wire act, and I walk it nice and tall
  A               D
I wave down to a friendly crowd,
                   A                                 E
they're screaming nice and loud, but I think they're hoping for a fall



[Chorus]

  Bm                         D                           A
I said I'm sorry more than twice, kept the conversation nice
                       E
But it never got me anywhere
  Bm                         D                                A
You do the best to wait your turn, until the day you finally learn
                      E                   D
That it never gets you anywhere, not anywhere



[Verse]

  A                         D
I count my blessings on a napkin ring,
                       A             E
there's a notch for everything you thought that I deserved,
  A                     D
and I carve it with a rusty knife
                A                     E
It's the story of my life, and it's getting more absurd



[Chorus]

  Bm                         D                           A
I said I'm sorry more than twice, kept the conversation nice
                       E
But it never got me anywhere
  Bm                         D                                A
You do the best to wait your turn, until the day you finally learn
                      E                  D
That it never gets you anywhere, not anywhere


[Verse]

 A                              D
Somewhere between suicide and total bliss,
                A                              E
I called for Providence and I asked her for a ride,
 A                    D                       A
she found me on the Interstate, with a final twist of fate,
     E
I watched her drive right by


[Chorus 2x]

  Bm                         D                           A
I said I'm sorry more than twice, kept the conversation nice
                       E
But it never got me anywhere
  Bm                         D                                A
You do the best to wait your turn, until the day you finally learn
                      E                 D
That it never gets you anywhere, not anywhere


[End]
    D                        A
not anywhere, not anywhere...
