Verse 1:
       G+G        C majorC
There were banged up hands stealing first base
   G+G            C majorC
Underneath the tables so we never sang grace
     G+G          C majorC
Falling out of bed for the workday week
       G+G             C majorC
There was kissing in the cracks of the flash flood streets
       G+G         C majorC
There were button blossoms and merry Johnny Rotten
G+G                 C majorC
Chewed up and swallowed by the profit they were trying to follow
G+G           C majorC          G+G       C majorC
Bit too green and we paid no tax on our quick romantic cul de sac

Chorus:
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I

Verse 2:
      G+G           C majorC
There were washed out cars in our bark-old clothes
      G+G           C majorC
They were rubbing on each other rubbing ghost on ghost
      G+G          C majorC
There were jonesed-up punks and Jesus freaks
    G+G           C majorC
Weaving in and out of trouble wrapping round and round a leash
      G+G          C majorC
There were sleepless dreamers, blues day preachers
   G+G             C majorC
The message and the messenger, gum beneath the register
   G+G          C majorC
The sweet gum tree by the dug dunk tank
      G+G            C majorC
We could never give enough to the bad-luck bank
      G+G         C majorC
There were hopeless sinners, sweepstake winners
 A minorAm                    C majorC
They danced with the farmer's daughter, capered with the corporate lawyers

Chorus:
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I

Verse 3:
      G+G           C majorC
There was laughing in the night, sugar in the shade
      G+G           C majorC
There were back stab handshakes made on faith
      G+G           C majorC
We were never out of time and we never entertained
      G+G            C majorC
Anybody said out of habit that the wind was going to change
      G+G         C majorC
There were restless misfits, teething biscuits
A minorAm               C majorC
Bodies full of penny wishes, parties full of pretty dishes
 G+G           C majorC
Side by side with the birds and bees
     G+G            C majorC
And we never sang grace and never ever took a knee
      G+G           C majorC
With the saints and ramblers, movie star handlers
A minorAm           C majorC
High above the aviary, underneath the cemetery
G+G            C majorC   G+G            C majorC
 And we never wondered why, 'cause the sun was in our eyes
      A minorAm           C majorC
There was seed for the field, there was grease for the wheel
      A minorAm             C majorC
We were drinking with the luminaries, eating with the visionaries

Chorus:
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I
    D MajorD         C majorC    D MajorD C majorC
But it all came down to you and I
