Intro: Bb Eb F x2
Verse
Bb Eb
It was a summer's day when you first walked away
F Bb
At the time, I wasn't feeling so bad
You gave me shit while I looked away
Eb F Bb
Just like every big conversation that we ever had
Eb F
And you know how a thing like that can be such a terrible shame
Bb
Because it makes you feel mean
Eb F Bb Eb F
Your eyes were so very green
Gm F Eb F
And it's foolish to think you would ever consider it again
Gm
After two or three drinks
F Eb
All the books on the subject say just move along
F Gm
Give yourself some time to think
F Eb F
They say follow your heart but if your heart never knew
Gm F Eb
Where to go, or why
Chorus
Bb
You had to say goodbye
Eb F Bb
To people whose every word is just a lie
Eb F Bb
Like a guilty man who knows he's gonna fry
Eb F Bb Eb F
I was hoping to catch that old dreamy look in your eye
Gm F Eb F
And it's foolish to need any sign you'd consider me again
Gm
After smoking some weed
F
All our friends all support our view
Eb F Gm
And every tired and desperate word we ever bleat
F Eb F
They say follow your heart but if your heart never knew
Gm F Eb
Where to go, or why
Chorus
Bb
You're just saying goodbye
Eb F Bb
To people whose every word is just a lie
Eb F Bb
And you wonder just a little if your soul isn't starting to die
Eb F Bb
And you spend every waking moment wondering why
Eb F Bb
Why why why why why
Eb F Gm
Why why why why why
(Instrumental Bridge)
Gm F Gm F Gm F Eb Eb F F F F

Verse
Bb Eb
It was a winter's day when I finally realized
F Bb
I was the one always walking away
Eb F Bb
That you tried so many times and I'd ignored every word that you had to say
Eb F
And you know how a thing like that can be such a terrible shame
Bb
Because it makes you feel old
Eb F Bb Eb F
And your words were so very cold
Gm F Eb
And it's foolish to think you can bury it all
F Gm
In some endless draft of drink
F Eb F
Every person you meet can tell you're a ship taking water in a storm
Gm
And you're starting to sink
F Eb F Gm F
If you follow your heart then you're bound to become something else
Eb F Gm F Eb
You take one hard look at yourself
Chorus
Bb
And you say I'm
Eb F Bb
Gonna do everything you said that I couldn't do when I was high
Eb F Bb
Now I'll write your name in stars across the sky
Eb F Bb
And we'll meet somewhere someday and you'll ask me why
Eb F Bb
Why why why why why
Eb F Bb
Why why why why why
Eb F Bb
