Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
         F minorFm  Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
It's the morning after
                      F minorFm   Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
And we're on a train zigzagging 'cross the countryside
            F minorFm  Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
On our way home from a party
           F minorFm Bb majorBb
That turned insane
          F minorFm   Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
He dozes off on my shoulder
            F minorFm  Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
Wakes up suddenly, apologizes
     Eb MajorEb
Looks the other way

Chorus:
  F minorFm   Bb majorBb
So tell me how
Eb MajorEb
Tell me how I can tell him I love him
  F minorFm   Bb majorBb
So tell me how

Verse 2:
          F minorFm  Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
The neighbor came a-knocking
Eb MajorEb
Said she'd call the cops
              F minorFm  Bb majorBb
He said, "I'll turn down the stereo"
       Eb MajorEb
Pretended to adjust the volume knob
     F minorFm  Bb majorBb
He's my best friend
      Eb MajorEb
And we can talk about anything
  F minorFm       Bb majorBb
As long it's about nothing
  Eb MajorEb
As long as it don't cut deeper than the skin

Chorus:
F minorFm   Bb majorBb
Tell me how
Eb MajorEb
Tell me how I can tell him I love him
  F minorFm   Bb majorBb
So tell me how
Eb MajorEb
Tell me how I can tell him I love him, so
F minorFm   Bb majorBb
Tell me how

Bridge:
         F minorFm
I mean I guess he knows
      Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb                      F minorFm  Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
Just like I know when he says something funny and I laugh from my belly
        F minorFm               Bb majorBb
Or when Sandra left him and I held him when he cried
   Eb MajorEb                   F minorFm Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
For a moment he left his guard down and so did I

Verse 3:
           F minorFm  Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
But it's so deep within me,   the way a man should be
           F minorFm Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
Passed on through generations of men before me
          F minorFm Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
A augmentedA line drawn in the sand to keep us apart
       F minorFm  Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
A augmentedA rusty, old padlock hanging on our hearts
  F minorFm   Bb majorBb
So tell me how

Outro:
          F minorFm  Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
We part ways at the station
                    F minorFm Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
He's got his bike and he rides into the gap

'Tween day and night
      F minorFm Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb
Before he's gone

he shouts, "Later, dude"
     F minorFm  Bb majorBb
I think, "Yeah
Eb MajorEb
