[Intro]
A A Bm Bm F#m E F#m

[Verse]
Oh oh and it's got
    F#m
me caught
                   A
I never ask for advice
He's got a way of forcin'
   E
it on you
But my heart's as
        Bm  A  Bm
cold as ice
                    F#m
And I will not entertain
                  A
Even an ounce of anger
I'm happy with all my
 E
borrowed words
                Bm   Bm
I won't ever return
             A

[Chorus]
And this is not my
 A
song
             A
And these are not
    A
my words
                   Bm
I borrowed this guitar
And stole all of
the chords
             A
And these are not
    A
my feelings
In fact they told
                Bm
I leaarned 'em from
a place
But mainly they're
stole
          F#m  E  F#m
Stolen by me

[Verse]
Oh Lord I've stolen
  F#m
a girl
But it's like stealing
   A
a mountain
I've got no place to
       E
put it no
                Bm
And no hope to climb
  A  Bm
it
              F#m
I can not succeed
Can not catch and
    A
release us
And man must take
     E
her back
And he said
"You've sown, now you
      Bm
will reap"
Oh oh oh
             A

[Vesre]
                A
I found a true love
             A
                A
Surely she's ideal
She was once my
 Bm
friends
But I made a steal
And she loves like
   A
a rock
She's heavy as a
stone yeah
But it's better
      Bm
than drugs
Ah and being alone
             A

[Chorus]
And this is not
    A
my song
             A
And these are not
    A
my words
I borrowed the
   Bm
guitar
And stole all of
the chords
             A
And these are not
    A
my feelings
In fact they're
age old
I leaarned 'em
 Bm
from a place
But mainly they're
stole
          A
Stolen by me

[Outro]
A A Bm  Bm

Listen for F#m – A – E – Bm (vi – I – V – ii in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is lah – doh – soh – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
