          C              Fmaj4             C     C2  C 
There are days I don’t believe the words I say 
       F                 C 
Like a life that I’m not living 
  F                 C              G   G6-G7 
A song that I’m not singing but to you 
 
Verse : 2 
 
          C              Fmaj4          C     C2  C 
There are times that I believe I’m satisfied 
        F           C 
Like an intimate connection 
  F                 C           G   G6-G7 
Despite this bad reception with you 
 
Pre-chorus : 
 
        Am              D 
Cause I can’t afford to pay 
    Am             D 
For most of what I say 
   Am     C/B   C 
So it’s a lucky thing 
         F                E 
That the truth’s public domain 
 
Chorus : 
 
    Am          E 
And I am like a mockingbird 
         F              C 
I’ve got no new song to sing 
    Am           E 
And I am like an amplifier 
       F                  G 
I just tell you what I’ve heard 
        Fmaj4         C 
Oh, I’m like a mockingbird

    Fmaj4     C           Fmaj4               C   C2  C 
And yes, it’s true that I need this more than you 
     F                 C 
Like one whose name is many 
     F                   C        G  G6-G7 
Have mercy, please don’t send me away 
 
Pre-chorus : 2 
 
    Am            D 
And I’ll do all I can 
   Am          D 
To be a better man 
   Am        C/B      C 
Oh I’ll clean up this act 
       F             E 
And be worse than we started 
 
Chorus :

Em     (Em#7-Em)x4 hammer on
