Your well-meaning brought you here

C G Am F C

1. How do you expect me to feel now you tell me, I've arrived,

Am G F

and here I am but I tremble when I stand,

Dm C G

for I feel I'm on the outside.

C D F C

Where did it go wrong ? Won't you point it out, please show !

F G F - G

I know, you well meaning brought me here,

C - G

so you must know.

C G Am F C

2. I know every stranger here, and the love they lend,

Am G F

but now that's gone, and still the need for it goes on

Dm C G

oh how I need a good friend.

C D F C

I should have known that in the end I'd have to answer to myself,

F G F - G

and though you well meaning brought me here

C - G

now you cannot help.

Am F

And I never meant to come this far,

Am F

and I never thought I'd loose my way.

G Em Am

And now I know who "they" are,

D C

but I still get hurt by the things they say.

D F C

This place has no kings, only courtiers live here,

F G F - G

fine words, fine clothes, fine promises

C - G

that they make in fear.

C G Am F C

3. I am tired but I cannot rest beneath this roof,

Am G F

if here I lie it would be easier to try,

Dm C - G

but where could I tell the tru…th.

C D F C

Please don't look so strangely now, as if I failed some kind of test,

F G F - G

I know you well meaning brought me here

C - G - F - C

and I've done my best.
