[Verse 1]
E                        A
Tired of sleeping on the sidewalk
 A                             B      E
Working at the bus stop night 'til morning
                          A
Tired and waiting for the sunlight
 A                                   B    E
When it comes, it's still dark where I'm going
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
E      A
Don't
                            E
Don't punish me for what I feel
       A
Don't
                            E
Don't punish me for what I feel
 
 
[Chorus]
A                       E
So I crawled out of the back door
                   B
Took off all these tight clothes
                A
Jumped into the water
                        E
So I crawled out of the back door
                   B
Took off all these tight clothes
                A
Jumped into the water
                  E         B
I jumped into the water
    A    E
The water
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                     A
Vicious demons on the TV
 
So I sold it on 16th St
                       E
But I still hear the drone
                              A
Now I'm 'bout to get off this night shift
 
Do you think I could get a lift?
                            E
I don't care where you're going
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
E      A
Don't
                            E
Don't punish me for what I feel
       A
Don't
                            E
Don't punish me for what I feel
 
 
[Chorus]
A                       E
So I crawled out of the back door
                   B
Took off all these tight clothes
                A
Jumped into the water
                        E
So I crawled out of the back door
                   B
Took off all these tight clothes
                A
Jumped into the water
                  E         B
I jumped into the water
    A    E
The water
 
 
[Bridge]
E                               Ab
My face was numb, my lungs were sore
            A             Ab                   E
But still I swam until my feet could touch the shore
                                Ab
Now I've been sleeping on your porch
              A                  Ab           E
I'm still too scared to bust the lock on your door
 
 
[Chorus]
A                       E
So I crawled out of the back door
                   B
Took off all these tight clothes
                A
Jumped into the water
                        E
So I crawled out of the back door
                   B
Took off all these tight clothes
                A
Jumped into the water
                  E         B
I jumped into the water
    A    E
The water

Gratitude! I have been playing this for awhile now and am grateful for you (and the band;) every time I play it. Beautiful day to you.

I think this song works best if you thump the guitar as the drum beat between chords. So good.
