• Capo on 3rd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: Bb

Intro:
G D/F# C/G Em/B D/A

Verse:
  G                        D
I thought it might help if I could try limiting
C                     Em          D
All of my thoughts to meaningless little things
   G                      D
So I’d get hung up on some letter you wrote me
   C                    Em         D
Go outside, imagine the weather in Tokyo

    G                           D
But I'd get dragged down by the slightest connection
     C                     Em        D
Just fly off the tracks to some recollection
     G                   D
Of a casual mention of a trip ‘round the planet
  C                        Em             D
A phone call that I didn't get when you’d landed

Chorus:
        G  G#dim
And how I
                 Am Am/G# Am/E
Still waited for you
     D
When you
        C      Em D
Told me not to

Verse:
                   G                        D
Still remember the things that you chose to leave out of focus
  C                     Em          D
Admire, compose, and pretend not to notice
   G                             D
And in all of your messages, the intimate care that you
C                       Em         D
Took to show you didn't wish I was there with you

Bridge:
G                      D
And I don't know why I thought I could estimate
C                   Em         D
How many cars could fit on the Golden Gate
G                              D
And not think of when we first crossed it together
          C                          Em     D
You said "fuck San Francisco and its shitty weather"

Chorus:
    G G#dim
But I
                       Am Am/G# Am/E
Kind of thought it was nice
             D
Why couldn't you
                      C      Em D
Just let something be nice?

G D C Em D

Verse:
                           G                         D
And yeah, of course I know what kind of beer we were drinking last Christmas
       C                                Em         D
When I asked you those things that were none of my business
      G                    D
And I think I called you a liar but actually
C                       Em            D
I was just mad that you wouldn't yell back at me

Chorus:
    G G#dim
And I
                      Am Am/G# Am/E
Never thanked you for that
   D
So thanks
                  C         Em D
That's all you're gonna get

Verse:
         G                        D
Now it's been a long time, it's almost even easy
      C                          Em        D
I get days, even weeks where you vanish completely
      G                    D
And I know I'm free now of hating or wanting you
       C                      Em           D
I just hate that I still understand what I saw in you
G D
  C                      Em           D
I hate that I still understand what I saw in you

G D C Em D
