[Intro]
 
A  G  D x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
A       G                    D
To many shadows in my room
A       G                    D
To many hours in this midnight
A       G                    D
To many corners in my mind
A       G                    D
So much to do to set my heart right
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm                 E                 A        G       D
      Oh, its taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready.
Bm                           E               A           G       D
Oh, but if I take my hearts advice I should assume its still unsteady.
F#m       Bm    E     F#m   Bm      E
I am     in repair.  I am in repair.
 
 
[Verse]
 
A       G                    D
Stood on the corner for a while.
A                  G               D
To wait for the wind to blow down on me.
A          G                D
Hoping it takes away my old ways.
A          G                    D
And brings some brand new look upon me.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm                 E                 A        G       D
      Oh, its taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready.
Bm                           E               A           G       D
Oh, but if I take my hearts advice I should assume its still unsteady.
F#m       Bm    E     F#m   Bm      E
I am     in repair.  I am in repair.

[Verse]
 
A            G             D
And now I’m walking in a park.
A              G                  D
And all of the birds they dance below me.
A          G                   D
Maybe when things turn green again.
A          G                D
It will be good to say you know me.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm                 E                 A        G       D
      Oh, its taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready.
Bm                           E               A           G       D
Oh, but if I take my hearts advice I should assume its still unsteady.
         A         G      D
Oh yeah, I'm never really ready, yeah
         A         G      D
Oh yeah, I'm never really ready, yeah
A      G
I'm in repair
D
I'm not together but I'm getting there (x6)

great job, just the G in the chorus isn't right I think.

Not to be picky, but shouldn’t it be: “Too many shadows in my room. Too many hours in this midnight. Too many corners in my mind.”
