Chorus: D MajorD E minorEm I muttered somethin' underneath my breath, G+G C majorC She studied the lines on my face.

G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 Then she opened up a book of poems G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 And handed it to me G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 Written by an Italian poet C majorC From the thirteenth century. Chorus: D MajorD E minorEm And every one of them words rang true G+G C majorC And glowed like burnin' coal D MajorD E minorEm Pourin' off of every page G+G C majorC D MajorD Like it was written in my soul from me to you, Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC G+G Am7/GAm7/G G+G Am7/GAm7/G Tangled up in blue.

G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 All the people we used to know C majorC They're an illusion to me now. G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 Some are mathematicians G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 Some are carpenter's wives. G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 Don't know how they all got started, C majorC I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
