This is probably the best Beatles song that was not written by Lennon-McCartney.
(VERSE 1)
NC
It s getting to the
point,
Where I, no longer know
Exactly what to do
or say
A new disaster threatens every
day that I stay
here with you
Trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of my heart
(VERSE 2)
And all you really need
Is that
I give you everything
I used to give
you back
when giving everything was easy
Yesterday I loved you
Now I m trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of my heart
G D C~D
I m sick and tired
G D C~D
Of being sick and tired
(pre-BRIDGE)
We both admit we re losing hope
I love you but I don t suppose
It really makes a difference if I say
(VERSE 3)
It s getting to the
point
Where I
now disregard the feelings that you
share
I know
that you deserve much better than this
fumbling cartoon character
Trying to start a fire where there
used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of my heart
G D C~D
I m sick and tired
G D C~D
Of being sick and tired
(pre-BRIDGE)
We both admit we re losing hope
I love you but I don t suppose
It really makes a difference if I say
(BRIDGE)
(Em) C
I don t know what to feel now
There s nothing left that s real now
Tell me -
We fell in love together
Spent so many years together
Why must we fall out of love alone?
(GUITAR SOLO)
(VERSE 4)
It s getting to the
point
Where I no longer know
Exactly what I want or need
This hurricane s inside me
And I m sorry but I can t go on
Trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of my heart
(OUTRO)
G D C~D
I m sick and tired
G D C~D
Of being sick and tired
So damn sick of all this
