Intro: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
G+G C majorC
To celebrate undying faith, we re gathered here like drifted wrecks
G+G D MajorD
for a late September wedding, October breathing down our necks.
G+G C majorC
I knew this town in another time. I knew this town a younger man
G+G D MajorD
with the world in my hip pocket a subway token in my hand.
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
Mmm you got to me.
G+G C majorC
And they got candlelight and a reggae band, champagne by the bucket load
G+G D MajorD
Limos lined up down the curb to take us where we need to go.
G+G C majorC
And I need to go somewhere I ve been to find a place I lost the trail
G+G D MajorD
Way back then so long ago I don t suppose you even know
G+G
You got to me.
C majorC G+G C majorC
Brought all this empty down on top of me.
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
You got to me.
G+G C majorC
We danced between the snowflakes falling, tripping on the cobblestones
G+G D MajorD
And the trolley tracks, we had it all then, Christmas break your roommates gone
G+G C majorC
We stoked the fire and let it burn till the embers glowed in the morning light
G+G D MajorD
Trust in the tangle of skin on skins I ve not known quite that feeling since
G+G
You got to me.
C majorC G+G
Brought all this empty down on top of me.
C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
I didn t know but we were not to be, but I know a thing or two now.
G+G C majorC
The wedding party s raging yet, how the old and desperate misbehave
G+G D MajorD
Limo smells like cocaine sweat, cheap cologne and aftershave
G+G C majorC
It s gotta be one of these row house doors I knew the number long ago
G+G D MajorD
I step out on the curb. Tell the driver just go on and go.
G+G
You got to me.
C majorC G+G
Brought all this empty down on top of me.
C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC
I didn t know but we were not to be, but I know a thing or two now.
Interlude: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
G+G C majorC
The paper boy wants a smoke, leans his bike against a tree
G+G D MajorD
He s tired and cold and broke and he don t what to make of me
G+G C majorC
Standing here in my three piece suit, standing here just like I am
G+G D MajorD
With my vest unbuttoned and my neck tie loose, impervious to all abuse
G+G
You got to me.
C majorC G+G
Brought all this empty down on top of me.
C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
Off on a thousand dollar odyssey, and I know a thing or two now.
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Yeah I know a thing or two now.
C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
Yeah I know a thing or two now.
