Intro:

C     G/B A#6 Am
Fmaj7     G

Verse 1:
    C              G/B     A#6        Am
The bus stopped in Brandon miles from Ithaca
     Fmaj7                  G
At a coffeeshop to pour the people out
   C             G/B        A#6              Am
To drink all the coffee and read through the papers
         Fmaj7                  G
bout the famous people crashing down
    C          G/B            A#6         Am
The couple two rows up on the left didn't move
          Fmaj7              G
they just lay there sleeping in
    C          G/B      A#6       Am
And huddle together the way birds cluster
    Fmaj7                G
Together when facing the wind
        Fmaj7
Oh, and she like a camera
    G
And he a B film
     C      C/B        Fmaj7
Both pretty faced, but hard
     Fmaj7
From smoking too much
    G
And waiting too long
            C                C/B                Fmaj7
And all the things that life does to break your heart
  Fmaj7       G
I told you so - don't say I never told you so

C G/B A#6 Am
Fmaj7 G

Verse 2:
  C           G/B  A#6         Am
I listened to them all the way westbound
      Fmaj7                 G
Under golden skies and blue fields
           C         G            A#6         Am
With their sally ann jackets, and pillows and backpacks
    Fmaj7                  G
She turned into him like a shield
         Fmaj7
From the stories of Santa Claus
G
Drunk, stuck in the chimney
        C              C/B        Fmaj7
All the deer that died making him fly
        Fmaj7
And how B.B. King rode the bus
       G
To his gig because he was broke
        C            C/B    Fmaj7
And how sometimes its ok to cry
      Fmaj7                              G
And I swear it rains there all the time,
      C                  C/B           Fmaj7
First thing we'll find a room and keep dry
          Fmaj7          G
Oh, we'll find a bed and put us in it
        C         C/B        Fmaj7
it will feel like home in no time
    Fmaj7                        G
But what if there is all there is
            C         C/B       Fmaj7
i'd like to spend the rest with you
     Fmaj7
With your hundred dollars
    G
And my hundred dollars
    C   C/B          Fmaj7
I'm sure, we'll pull through
  Fmaj7         G
I told you so
                   C           G/B  A#6 Am
Don't say I didn't tell you so
Fmaj7   G
