Bent Lyrics

Bent
Matchbox Twenty
F#m is played over this riff
*begin note bent up half step (should sound like 10th fret, then go
down to 9th)
d--9---10^9---10^9--7--6--------------6-7-9---10^9---10^9---7--6-------
If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
and if I get too tired to make it
be my breath so I can walk
If I need some other love
give me more than I can stand
and when my smile gets old and faded
wait around I'll smile again
shouldn't be so complicated
just hold me and then
just hold me again
can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
get put back together
you're breaking me in
and this is how we will end
with you and me bent
If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
could you paint me better off
could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot
I started out clean but I'm jaded
just phoning it in
just breaking the skin
can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
get put back together
you're breaking me in
and this is how we will end
with you and me bent
start bending me
It's never enough
I feel all your pieces
start bending me
Keep bending me until I'm completely broken in

I'm so scared that I'll never

and this is how we will end
with you and me bending
without understanding, hell I'll go there again
can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
get put back together
you're breaking me in
and this is how we will end
with you and me bent
