Version 1
            [Intro]
G     C    Cm   G
G     C    Cm   G
[Verse 1]
G                    C
What do I do to make you smile
Cm                        G
You've been hurting for a while
G                         C
What can I do to make you laugh
Cm                  G
Get St. Peter’s autograph
G                           C
What's that distance in your eyes
Cm                        G
Has your faith been compromised
G                        C
What can I do to help you sleep
Cm                         G
I'll work hard and work for cheap
[Chorus 1]
Am             C
Sometimes it’s nothing but the way
       G                          D
you're wired, and that's not your fault
Am7       C
We're all struggling with the world on
G                        D
fire, and the fear we're taught
[Verse 2]
G                       C
Now you've lost another friend
Cm                           G
Who couldn't stay to see the end
G                        C
He had somewhere else to be
Cm                        G
Cut him down and burn the tree
G                           C
There's no shelter from the rain
Cm                          G
And I can’t comprehend your pain
G                        C
But I got arms and I got ears
Cm                         G
And I will always be right here
[Chorus 2]
Am            C
Sometimes its nothing but the way
       G
you’re raised, and it could have been
D
worse
      Am7      C
And I see you suffering through the
        G
best of days, still you're putting me
D
first
[Verse 3]
G                       C
What do I do to let you know
Cm                          G
That I’m not haunted by his ghost
G                        C
Let him dance around our room
Cm                    G
Let him smell of your perfume
G                        C
Share your best remember whens
Cm                       G
If he comes through here again
G                       C
Maybe he could make you laugh
Cm                    G
Bring St. Peter's autograph
