Incomplete and Insecure

(G)I haven't finished a (C)thing since I started
my (G)life I don't feel much like (D)starting
(G)Walking out lonely has (C)worked like a charm
I'm the (G)only one I have to let (D)down
(Em)But, watching (C)you, makes me (G)think that that is (C)wrong

I can go on with my insecure nature
I can keep living off sympathy
I can tell all the people that all of my success
is a direct reflection on me
But, watching you, makes me think that that is wrong

What is important, what's really important,
am I not to know by my name
Will I ever know silence without mental violence
Will the ringing at night go away
It's up to you my father taught me

I haven't finished a thing since I started
my life I don't feel much like starting
I haven't finished a thing since I started
my life I don't feel much like starting
I haven't finished a thing since I started
my life I don't feel much like starting
I haven't finished a thing since I started
my life I don't feel much like starting

I think he says:

and then i think he says:

What is important, what's really important,
am I not to know by my name
Will I ever know silence without mental violence
with this ringing at night go away
"It's up to you" my father told me

I agree, it's "success is" and not "sunsets are". Last line I believe is "taught me" not "told me" but that one is the same either way. Good call.

This combination worked better for me.

(C)I haven't finished a (F)thing since I started
my (C)life I don't feel much like (G)starting
(C)Walking out lonely has (F)worked like a charm
I'm the (C)only one I have to let (G)down
(Am)But, watching (F)you, makes me (C)think that that is (F)wrong

thanks for the post on this song

Gumbo is right, except the last F is actually a "G"

didn't somebody already post the chords to this song?

It's not the chase that I love - it's me following you.

Could it be: "My Father, call on me." ? My wife pointed this out to me. I was in the "taught me" faction until she said this. I've listened very closely and I can clearly hear an "on". Thoughts?

Okay, guess I'm alone on that one. That's how I've been singing it in the car though and it feels right!

I agree Jeeptruck, I think it is "Call on me", that is how I have been singing it since I got the album....
