C majorC G+G A minorAm E MajorE FF C majorC FF G+G (x2)

Introduction:
    C majorC              G+G
Did you mean what you said when you told me you missed us
A minorAm          E MajorE
Without reservation, without plans for Christmas
FF             C majorC
First part was right, the rest wasn't true
  FF            G+G
The same goes for me and the same goes for you
     C majorC               G+G
Packed my things for the month but it's not necessary
 A minorAm             E MajorE
I told you I'd stay but it's just temporary
   FF            C majorC
Like swastika girls who fell back on their looks
  FF              G+G
We relied on the tricks and the recycled hooks
    C majorC            G+G
Did you want a response or just someone to edit?
   A minorAm             E MajorE
It's not what you said, it's the way that you said it
  FF               C majorC
The longshoreman's daughter, when they spelled her name
   FF               G+G           C majorC
Found three chords of brilliance and rode them to fame, all alone

Verse 1:
           C majorC
Pep up the formula tonight
              A minorAm
You're not obliged to do us favors
             E MajorE FF C majorC G+G
Disenchanted hearts unite
                FF G+G
When you and I were candy ravers
              C majorC
Krushchev's Ekranoplan had failed
              A minorAm
Those weeks in August never seem fair
               E MajorE FF C majorC G+G
Our love is left to sink or sail
                   FF G+G
You cut the summer blonde from your hair
            C majorC
A augmentedA little time is all I need
             A minorAm
A augmentedA disco bloodbath for the ages
               E MajorE FF C majorC G+G
The patience left to let it bleed
             FF G+G
And a quill to fill the pages

Chorus:
D MajorD         FF
Side streets set ablaze
    A minorAm      G+G
And all roads lead to maybe
      D MajorD         FF
Sometimes I think about those days
      A minorAm         G+G
Sometimes I wish we'd kept the baby
       D MajorD           FF
I don't know how things could have changed
    G+G
At the latest


Verse 2:
              C majorC
Our days in Kansas wouldn't last
            A minorAm
I never learned the KU fight song
              G+G
Exchanging poisons from the past
                FF G+G
I hadn't heard from you in so long
           C majorC
And if the moonlight kills the flame
               A minorAm
With all the moments we were meant to
               G+G
You know I'll tell the world your name
                FF  G+G
I couldn't let the world forget you

Outro:
FF          G+G       C majorC F minorFm
Things were so much easier back in 1993
FF          G+G         Cmaj7Cmaj7
I loved you for the first time on that day
