G                                      Em
One way to react, when you’ve been abandoned
        C                     G
Is  to take yourself and put a dam in
                                      Em
And  over time, become an expert in engineering
    C                                    Em
Managing the flow and leakage of your feelings

[Verse 2]
  G                                            Em
There’s folks out there who claim there’s a deficience
    C                            G
In  practicing an extreme self sufficience
                                                Em
But  even once you prove that you can do it all yourself
     C                                 Em
It’s sometimes hard to let in someone else

[Chorus]
G                                   Em           C
Well  I’ve still got problems, they haven’t gone away
                 D        Am                   C
But you make me feel like I could be soft and it could be okay
      G                           Em
And I can’t say when, but someday soon
      D               Am                  G
I’ll decide to have a problem in front of you

[Verse 3]
G                             Em
Down  in the park, there is a fountain
        C                        G
Where a younger me practiced my accounting
                                           Em
I held my pen so tight that it was hard to see
   C                 Em
My assets were my liabilities

[Chorus]
G                                   Em           C
Well  I’ve still got problems, they haven’t gone away
                D         Am                  C
But you make me feel like I could be soft and it could be okay
         G                        Em
And I can’t say when, but someday soon
     D                Am                  G
I’ll decide to have a problem in front of you
