   Dm                           C           G                Dm   C  G
I feel I'm flyin' blind when I know that my mind won't believe me
   Dm                        C           G                Dm     C  G
Not much to be said when my heart and my head still deceive me
      Dm                     C           G         Dm     C  G
Don't offer up help that you know that I won't be needin'
        Dm                       C         G         Dm     C  G
Cause I do it to myself, like I never get tired of bleedin'
 
 
[Chorus]
Gm7     C
Can I trust you now
Gm7     C
Not to pull me out
        Dm                       C            G        Dm     C  G
Of this cautionary tale that you know that I won't be readin'
Dm                       C            G        Dm     C  G

Dm                         C          G                 Dm     C  G
Make another dime just to lose it in time, what's the meanin'?
        Dm                              C           G          Dm      C  G
They'll take what they can get 'fore a word can be said, oh believe me
       Dm                      C             G             Dm     C  G
An' I know I'll be in debt to far more than that, I guess always
         Dm                       C        G     Dm      C  G
If I can make it outside of these narrow-minded hallways
 
 
[Chorus]
Gm7     C
Can I trust you now
Gm7     C
Not to pull me out

Watch this live video to see how he plays it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbjNorIOvW8 Verse Dm is at the 5th fret (like an open d shape) & and then lift off the A on the 1st string to open E string. The C is Csus2 and the G is like a G5. Chorus Gmin 7 is low to high: 3xo331 and then an open C with a G in the bass: 332o1o

Oiks. Love this song and this version just didn't sound right. I checked Leblanc's website, (which has the lyrics) and these are messed up with misplaced chords. Guess I'll have to do myself.

Seeing him live he plays the D starting on the fourth fret
