HOW I ENDED UP HERE - Jason Gray
(TUNING C, G, C, F, A, D) - 6/8 time signature

INTRO - {finger picked} A A\C# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm


A D\C A
There's something I'd like to confess
F#m7 A\D D\C
At the risk of exposing my faults

Bm A F#m A\D
But I'm starting to find that most of the time
D\C F#m E
I just don't like people at all


A D\C A
When I saw you five minutes ago
F#m A\D D\C
I was afraid you might talk off my ear
Bm A F#m A\D
I panicked inside and decided to hide
D\C E A Asus4 A G#m
And that's how I ended up here


F#m F#m\F
Crouching behind the live lobster tank
Asus2\D Asus2\C#
Hoping you'd just pass me by, oh...
D\C E F#m A\D
That's how I ended up here
D\C E A A\C# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm
That's how I ended up here


A D\C A
Oh how I wish I could say
F#m7 A\D D\C
It's my first time to hide in this spot
Bm A F#m A\D
But with all of the people I try to avoid
D\C F#m E
I find myself down here a lot


{stop time} * A D\C A
I mean, just look at these guys in the tank
F#m A\D D\C * {end stop time}
With the red rubber bands 'round their arms
Bm A F#m A\D
If they don't open up and just keep to themselves
D\C E A Asus4 A G#m
They won't do anyone harm


F#m F#m\F
So I screen my calls, don't answer the door
A\D Asus2\C#
Sometimes wish I could disappear,
D\C E F#m A\D
oh...that's how I ended up here
D\C E
That's how I ended up ..

{strummed}
A Bm
Building a wall so no one could bother me
A\C# D
Living my life in isolation
A Bm
Opening up to only those close to me
A\C# D
Nobody's close to me, what have I done?

{this part is finger picked again}

BREAK A A\C# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm
A A\C# DIV F#mIX EVII G#dim

A D\C A
See, I really want to be known
F#m7 A\D D\C
But I'm not quite as strong as the fear
Bm A F#m A\D
That you won't understand the fool that I am
D\C E F#m A\D
And that's how I ended up here
D\C E F#m A\D
That's how I ended up here
D\C E A A\C# DIV F#mIX EVII Bm
That's how I ended up here
