[Yes, that's really the title of the song.]
[Actually in F; capo 5.]
[Use the tablature at the end of this file for chord fingerings
 and picking pattern.]


[spoken:] In this song, I attempt to take back everything I said while
     standing in a phone booth on the corner of 49th and 3rd.

[Intro: arpeggio C majorC chord.]
