    Story Behind the Song
    I've dealt with repeated depression as long as I can remember, so this last time, while unemployed and experiencing it more intensely, I decided to put the feelings into words, again. Not that it helps, but it's a way to work through it without doing anything foolish.

    Lyrics
    The Matter with Me

    C
    What the Matter Baby?
    G
    Tell you I don’t know
    C
    Gotta darkness in my heart
    G
    Won’t let go
    F
    Send shiver down my ankles
    My arms are weak
    G C
    Stomach aches from a sadness so old and deep

    My baby, wife and doggie
    Can’t get through
    I’m sitting staring at nothing
    I just can’t move
    I try to think of reasons
    Nothing comes to mind
    It ain’t the first time I been in the bind


    G
    Oh mama
    What the matter with me?
    C
    Trailed by ghosts and shadows
    Won’t let me be
    Am
    Traveling peaks and valley
    American rivers and roads
    F
    How much longer
    I can carry this load
    G
    Oh mama what the matter with me






    Sometimes I’m high and mighty
    Other days I wanna stay in bed
    Gotta get to working before it leaves my head
    I tried talking and praying
    It don’t hold no hope
    All that pharmacia
    Don’t help me cope
    Oh mama, what the matter with me
