Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
BB F#F# G# minorG#m E MajorE (x2)
G# minorG#m BB F#F# E MajorE BB


Chorus:
BB
Had one hot cup of tea
F#F#
And too much time to think
G# minorG#m       E MajorE    BB
So I rewrote the story of us
            F#F#
Where I spoke eloquently
F#F#
And you responded gently
G# minorG#m      E MajorE      BB
To the use of my soft language

Verse:
BB        F#F#
But I still wore brown and blue
    G# minorG#m      E MajorE     BB
And my curly head of red was stylish
             F#F#
All the drunk men and the cool kids
F#F#
Stepped aside with Kirkwood
G# minorG#m      E MajorE
Humming like cicada's chorus

BB        G# minorG#m
Can't escape the feeling
          E MajorE
That I've done this one before
    F#F#         BB
On the elevator taking me up
          G# minorG#m
To the top of the garage
           E MajorE
Played tapes from the boombox
     F#F#            G# minorG#m E MajorE F#F# BB
'Til the night turns to morning again


Bridge:
BB           G# minorG#m        BB   G# minorG#m
When we were young and brave we shook off every rule
   BB   G# minorG#m      BB   G# minorG#m
Maybe in our faith we acted like a fool
      BB     G# minorG#m      BB    G# minorG#m
Now there's shades of gray for everything we do
     BB     G# minorG#m         BB         G# minorG#m       E MajorE
How I've longed for something that will make me feel like there's only one answer
       BB    G# minorG#m       BB     G# minorG#m
Now I skip to foolish fumbling when I hear your name
      BB    G# minorG#m        BB     G# minorG#m
And if this comes to nothing then it's all the same
   G# minorG#m          E MajorE
After so much waiting it's a welcome change

Chorus:
BB
Had two hot cups of tea
F#F#
And too much time to think
  G# minorG#m      E MajorE    BB
So I rewrote the story of us
            F#F#
Where I spoke eloquently
F#F#
And you responded gently
G# minorG#m      E MajorE      BB
To the use of my soft language
              F#F#
Now there's nothing left to say
            G# minorG#m  E MajorE
It feels empty in your place
BB            F#F#
And I know I've lost my chance
              G# minorG#m  E MajorE
This is where we'll always stand


Outro:
 BB     F#F#
I never said nothing
  G# minorG#m   E MajorE
To move me towards you
 BB     F#F#
I never did nothing
  G# minorG#m   E MajorE
To move me towards you
 BB     F#F#
I never said nothing
  G# minorG#m   E MajorE
To move me towards you
 BB     F#F#
I never said nothing
  G# minorG#m   E MajorE      BB
To move me towards you
