Verse I
C majorC
Well the room was Mediterranean
A minorAm
The meaning was twofold

We got busted by your mother
DmDm
Though you're 29 years old
C majorC
And the pictures wrapped in cellophane
A minorAm
Like sandwiches or stamps

Burnholes in my pockets
DmDm
And in the inseams of my pants
C majorC
And your graduation date
A minorAm
was in absentia* today
FF
And you wished you woulda stuck with him
DmDm
Though you told him not to stay
C majorC
And the redwoods and the oak trees
A minorAm
And the double yellow lines
FF
Although they're in perfect symmetry
DmDm
They keep imperfect time

Well your car was Japanese
A minorAm
perhaps Hungarian and blue
FF
And it followed you down highway 1,
DmDm
kept almost out of view

And it symbolizes something
A minorAm
although you don't know what it is

Like loneliness or longing

for a future perfect kiss

I'm in definitely
Bridge
(solo plays over verse)
C majorC
The second hand's the first thing that you see when you wake up
DmDm
And it goes by in slow motion, and you rub it for good luck
C majorC
Time is gonna tell your little secrets to me
DmDm
There's a frightened girl inside of you and I'm gonna set her free
