        F                            C
Did you mean what you said when you told me you missed us
    D                    A
Without reservation, without plans for Christmas
 A#                        F
First part was right, the rest wasn't true
     A#                       C
The same goes for me and the same goes for you

           F                            C
Packed my things for the month but it's not necessary
   D                          A
I told you I'd stay but it's just temporary
     A#                       F
Like Swastika Girls who fell back on their looks
       A#                       C
We relied on the tricks and the recycled hooks

         F                       C
Did you want a response or just someone to edit?
     D                           A
It's not what you said, it's the way that you said it
     A#                            F
The longshoreman's daughter, when they spelled her name
       A#                             C
Found three chords of brilliance and rode them to fame all alone

(break)             F
Pep up the formula tonight
                            D
You're not obliged to do us favors
                    C
Disenchanted hearts unite
                          Bb           C
When you and I were candy ravers

(break)                     F
Krushchev's Ekranoplan had failed
                            D
Those weeks in August never seem fair
                            C
Our love is left to sink or sail
                               Bb          C
You cut the summer blonde from your hair

(break)                F
A little time is all I need
                          D
A disco bloodbath for the ages
                            C
The patience left to let it bleed
                        Bb          C
And a quill to fill the pages


G5                     Bb5
Side streets set ablaze
    D5                   C5
And all roads lead to maybe
             G5                   Bb5
Sometimes I think about those days
             D5                  C5
Sometimes I wish we'd kept the baby
              G5                        Bb5
I don't know how things could have changed
        C5
At the latest

(break)                      F
Our days in Kansas wouldn't last
                        D
I never learned the KU fight song
                             C
Exchanging poisons from the past
                           Bb        C
I hadn't heard from you in so long

(break)                         F
And if the moonlight kills the flame
                              D
With all the moments we were meant to
                                   C
You know I'll tell the world your name
                             Bb         C
I couldn't let the world forget you


 D                   C             F   Bb
Things were so much easier back in  1993
   D                 C                  F
I loved you for the first time on that day
