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

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
