[Verse 1, 0:00]

    A                             Bm7                         C#m7   A
 Exactly how you hear it, is exactly how it all went down...
            A                               Bm7                                   C#m7  A
 It was later in the evening, That the facts and the figures got turned around
 A                          Bm7                          Cm#7   A  G  A  G  A
 True, there was a woman... Yes, she did advance my way.
        A                            Bm7                          Cm#7   A
 And I can't be sure exactly, but I swear I saw her say my name.


[Bridge, 0:43]

                A
 It was the right time
                 Bm7
 She was the real thing
              C#m7      A
 I had to walk away


[Chorus 0:54]

 (See) Don't wanna be,
 A              Bm7                  C#m7           A
   Stitched up, out of my mind, Feeling strung out, laggin' behind.
 A                Bm7                  C#m7                  A
 All trapped in, can't do a thing because I'm... locked down!
 A              Bm7                  C#m7           A
   Stitched up, feeling the burn - all strung out, I finally learn that
 A                Bm7                C#m7                A
 Trapped in, can't do a thing because I'm... locked down!


[Verse 2, 1:17, Music is the same as verse 1]

 I wonder where she came from, I wonder where she's gotta go.
 Who's to say she's single? And who's to say she's on her own?
 Girls like that don't sleep alone.
 (Alright here's the thing, here's the thing)


[Verse 3, 1:41, Music is the same as verse 1]

 That girl is flawless, and I know I'm not the first one to think that.
 And since I'm not the first, I sure won't be the last.
 I'd spend my whole life looking behind my back...
 I just don't think I'm up to that


[Chorus 2, 2:00, Music as above]

[Piano Solo, 2:20]

[Chorus, 3:08, as above]


[Outro, 3:31]

 A                Bm7            C#m7        A
 Stitch me up, string me out... Trap me in, lock me down.
 A                Bm7            C#m7        A
 Stitch me up, string me out... Trap me in, lock me down.
 I don't wanna be...
 A                Bm7            C#m7        A
 Stitch me up, string me out... Trap me in, lock me down.
 A                Bm7            C#m7        A
 Stitch me up, string me out... Trap me in, lock me down...
 Because I'm down and down and down.
