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

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

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

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

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

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