 (Intro)
E    C#m       C#   D    E E F F Gb


 (Verse)
    A Bb B     D    E E F F Gb
The lanes were silent, there was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles

    A Bb B     D    E
I doused our friendly venture with a hard-faced three-word gesture

 (Chorus)
    C#m       C#   D    E E F F Gb
I started something, I forced you to a zone and you were clearly never meant to go

    C#m       C#   D    E E F F Gb
Hair brushed and parted. Typical me, typical me, typical me I started something and now I'm not too sure


 (Verse)
    A Bb B     D    E E F F Gb
I grabbed you by the guilded beams. Uh, that's what tradition means

    A Bb B     D    E
And I doused another venture with a gesture that was absolutely vile


 (Chorus)
    C#m       C#   D    E E F F Gb
I started something I forced you to a zone and you were clearly never meant to go

    C#m       C#   D    E E F F Gb
Hair brushed and parted Typical me, typical me typical me I started something and now I'm not too sure

Gb (!6ct)



 (Verse)
    A Bb B     D    E E F F Gb
I grabbed you by the guilded beams. Uh, that's what tradition means

    A Bb B     D    E
And now eighteen months' hard labor seems, fair enough


 (Chorus)
    C#m       C#   D    E E F F Gb
I started something and I forced you to a zone and you were clearly never meant to go

    C#m       C#   D    E E F F Gb
Hair brushed and parted typical me, typical me, typical me I started something and now I'm not too sure

    C#m       C#   D    E E F F Gb
I started something I started something

    C#m       C#   D    E E F F Gb
Typical me, typical me Typical me, typical me Typical me, typical me Typical me I started something.
And now I'm not too sure Steven


(Outro)

Okay Stephen, do that again...
