Intro:

A Asus2 E A D A


Verse 1:
A                 Asus2      A
Been a long while now coming up
A                        E
Thought we were past it, thought we'd patched it up
D                            Asus2
Thought the title had passed hands
D                      A
Thought we'd had enough
A                       E
But the sun's gonna go ahead and tag right up
D                 E
And we don't understand what we're standing on
D/F#                F#m
And we sure come in blind
E7             A
With our timing

Pre-Chorus:
D
So I've culled what I can't tame
D            A
I have taken all that I can take
           D    A
And it got bad enough
A                      B7
I thought that I would leave


Chorus:
D                                E
Well, I wish you could take that right off
D                           E
All that shit that rips you right up
D/F#                           E               F#m         D
Then you'd know that we'd been taught all this from day one
D           A Asus2 D
From day one
E               D
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
F#m       D A
Hmmmm-mmmm


Verse 2:
A                 Asus2          A
Same old town and you're parsing through
A                 E
Signs of live and die for you
D                             F#m
There's a million ways you're falling through
A
The cost of your mind
A                     E
And some may say that you lack the stuff
D                        E
And you burn it down and clack your cuffs
D/F#                F#m
But you may have to toughen up
D                     A
While unlearning that lie


Interlude:
A                F#m
I'll go find the tap wire
F#m                           A
I'll go put the pathfinder on waltz


Break:
E D E F#m D A


Chorus:
A                   E
Well, can I get a rewind
E         D                  E
Just this once, if you don't mind
E            D     F#m          D A
I don't know who I am without ya
A                    E
'Cause I feel a wild one now comin' on
D                E
I told you to be patient, I swore that I was wrong
D/F#         F#m                     D    A
So why can't we both just now get to understand
A
From day one


Post-Chorus:
D
All this was dry land
D                  A
Yes, you have just always had your band
            D/F#         A                  A7
But you get sad enough because it's all you seek


Bridge:
A                 D            E
You don't have to take so very long
E             D             E
And you can't have it for a song
E                     D
And that's why I have rattled on
A           D
From day one
D        A
From day one


Outro:
E            D             E       D F#m D A
(Yeah-eh, oh yeah, ah-ooh! Eh-yeah)
