Hey This is my first post. I promise that every post I put is 100% accurate.

                                  "Brick"
                               Ben Folds Five

(Intro) ,,,,,,,,,

          
   Six am  Day after Christmas
                          
   I throw some clothes on in the dark
                      
   The smell of cold, car seat is freezing
                              
   the world is sleeping I am,  numb.

   Up the stairs, to her apartment
   she is balled up on the couch
   Her mom and dad, went down to Charlotte
   they're not home to find us out-

   (BRIDGE)

             
   And we drive
                  
   Now that I have found someone 
                          
   I'm feeling more alone
                        ,,
   than I ever have before



   (CHORUS)

                       
   She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
                       
   off the coast and I'm heading no where
                       
   She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly--

   ,,,

   (Same Chords and rythm as opening verse)

    They call her name
   at seven thirty
    I pace around the Paking lot
    Then I walk down 
    to buy her flowers
    and sell some gifts that I got

   (Bridge chords)

   Can't you see,
   It's not me,
   you're dying for
   Now she's feeling more alone
   Then she ever has before

   (CHORUS)

   (Chords on outro of 2nd chorus)

    As weeks went by it showed that she was not fine
                                  
    They told me son it's time to tell the truth and
                  
    she broke down, and I broke down
                          ,,,
    cause I was tired----          of lying

  (Verse 4)

  Driving back, to her apartment
  for the moment we're alone
  Yeah she's alone, and I'm alone
  and now I know it.
   
  (Chorus)
                 
  ...drowning  slowly ,,,,,,

There it is. Enjoy. RightChords!
