Boxed In Chords by Joe Jordan

[Chorus]
            C
My heart's taken quite the beatin'
                    G
About a billion so far and 

I'm still breathing
                   C
Been hurt so many times without a reason
                   
Before I learned pain  
       G
don't have to have a meaning
 
 
[Verse]
             C
I just keep tripping 

on the stepping stones
 
My shoes untied, my hindsight's gone
 G
Thinking how I should disappear
 
Nobody wants me home, 

nobody likes me here
 
   C
I whistle while I trickle by
 
Made some friends, 

just to watch 'em die
 G
Built a house on solid ground
 
'Til an act of God went 

and tore it down
 
   C
I loved her well, despite myself
 
Truth be told 

she needs someone else
                  G
'Cause there's a demon in my brain
 
Hanging pictures on the wall
 
        C
I love making people laugh
 
'Cause at least 

someone should be happy
       G
If it can't be, it's fine by me
         D/F#
It don't matter to me at all
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

    Em  D   G      C
I'm barely holding on
          Em  D   
Pray the tips of 
    G       C
my fingers stay strong
 
 
[Chorus]
            C
My heart's taken quite the beatin'
                    G
About a billion so far and 

I'm still breathing
                   C
Been hurt so many times without a reason
                     
Before I learned pain 
       G
don't have to have a meaning
 
            C
Pain keeps coming there's no stopping
                           
Life without it just ain't 
G
in the cards and options
                             
Running the same ol' circles 
C
I keep getting lost in
                        
It's a big ol' world but 
       G
we're all a little boxed in 
 
 
[Verse]
          C
Well I'm scared to breathe, 

I'm scared to move
 
I'm scared to see what 

I turn into
       G
Tears paint the wooden floor and
 
Depression's so damn boring
 
       C
But I don't deserve the good I get
 
So when it comes 

I don't let it in
         G
I don't let it live, 

I don't let it give me hope
 
Don't give me anything
 
       C
Thank God and Mom and Dad broke me
 
But what the hell do they owe me
      G
It's all on me, it falls on me
 
Can scars carve biology
 
      C
Is it in my blood or in my brain
 
Doctors say it's phantom pain
        G
'Cause something that once was
      D/F#
Ain't there anymore
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

    Em  D   G      C
I'm barely holding on
          Em  D    
Pray the tips of 
    G       C
my fingers stay strong
 
 
[Chorus]
            C
My heart's taken quite the beatin'
                    G
About a billion so far and 

I'm still breathing
                   C
Been hurt so many times without a reason
                     
Before I learned pain 
       G
don't have to have a meaning
 
                C
Oh, pain keeps coming 

there's no stopping
                           
Life without it just ain't 
G
in the cards and options
                             
Running the same ol' circles 
C
I keep getting lost in
                       
It's a big ol' world but 
       G
we're all a little boxed in
