        BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS - Taking Back Sunday

I was actually about to draft a chord for "Weathered" by The Hotel Year when I saw that I had this half
completed from months ago. I had some trouble back then trying to figure it out, but Matthew Florio's tab
helped a bunch with the chord progressions. I also want to give credit to PLyrics.com for the lyrics. This
seems spot on. I hope you all like it!

                  When you took...

Verse 1:
          D MajorD    E minorEm         C majorC
When you took that ring off, balled it in your fist
C majorC          D MajorD    E minorEm         C majorC     C majorC
Eyes like a smoking gun, surprised at what you did
  D MajorD            E minorEm           C majorC    C majorC
So don't even think for one second you're following me in
  D MajorD       E minorEm     C majorC    C majorC
My parents are home, so is my kid


Pre-Chorus:
    A minorAm    B minorBm       C majorC
Just go on. That house that you hate
   C majorC       E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC   C majorC
That house that we bought and failed to make


Verse 2:
          D MajorD    E minorEm      C majorC
When you took that ring off, I sat there stunned
C majorC        D MajorD    E minorEm          C majorC   C majorC
Parked out in my car, surprised at what you'd done
  D MajorD           E minorEm          C majorC      C majorC
The courage that must have took left me utterly speechless
  D MajorD            E minorEm            C majorC      C majorC
And though it came as no surprise I still couldn't believe it

Pre-Chorus:
   E minorEm  D MajorD    C majorC      E minorEm  D MajorD    C majorC

E minorEm    D MajorD     C majorC    C majorC
  You'll never be happy
E minorEm    D MajorD     C majorC    C majorC
  You'll never be happy

      G+G D/F#D/F#      A minorAm
You held on tight and for dear life
          C majorC
But it was all for nothing


Verse 3:
          D MajorD    E minorEm        C majorC
When you took that ring off, threw it at your feet
  C majorC      D MajorD   E minorEm        C majorC   C majorC
You didn't say a word, much less look at me
  D MajorD           E minorEm           C majorC     C majorC
The courage that must have took I just couldn't believe it
    D MajorD                E minorEm             C majorC     C majorC
In that moment you were perfect, and it made all the bullshit seem worth it


Chorus:
          E minorEm
But it was all for nothing
         C majorC
Yeah it was all a waste
