I'm not 100% sure on these lyrics...


*A quick note about the verses: these aren't the exact chords that Nina and Louise play,
 but they combine Nina and Louise's parts with the roots of Steve's awesome bass line,
 and makes it sound great and full when playing this solo acoustic!

Intro:

Cadd9Cadd9 - G+G (x2)
Cadd9Cadd9 - Gadd9Gadd9 (x2)


Verse:

Cadd9Cadd9         Gadd9Gadd9
Time flies and I can?t keep up
Cadd9Cadd9          Gadd9Gadd9
All the years I have to sweep up
Cadd9Cadd9        Gadd9Gadd9
Late at night I?m in my bed and in my head
Cadd9Cadd9           Gadd9Gadd9
And the feelings start to creep up

Cadd9Cadd9          Gadd9Gadd9
Remember how we used to dress up
Cadd9Cadd9             Gadd9Gadd9
You?re beautiful until you?re messed up
Cadd9Cadd9         Gadd9Gadd9       Cadd9Cadd9
Take a picture cause I think we?re losing light
          B minorBm          C majorC
This is how we say goodbye, it?s how we say goodnight


Chorus:

E MajorE      A augmentedA       D MajorD    G+G  D/F#D/F#
Bang bang my head against a wall of sound
E MajorE      A augmentedA          D MajorD   G+G  D/F#D/F#
A augmentedA wall like a love it brings me to the ground
E MajorE      A augmentedA         D MajorD   G+G
We surf the crowd, but we will not go down
C majorC        G+G          D MajorD
I don?t want to drown if you?re not drowning with me

Verse:

Cadd9Cadd9          Gadd9Gadd9
Late December when we?re waking
Cadd9Cadd9         Gadd9Gadd9
There?s an unfamiliar aching
Cadd9Cadd9        Gadd9Gadd9
By the way you held my hand, held my heart
Cadd9Cadd9         Gadd9Gadd9
I didn?t notice it was breaking
Cadd9Cadd9        B minorBm
This is how you say goodbye
       C majorC
It?s how you say good night


Chorus:

E MajorE       A augmentedA      D MajorD     G+G  D/F#D/F#
My head cracks open and the stage goes black
E MajorE     A augmentedA      D MajorD        G+G  D/F#D/F#
I count to sixty and I meet you in the back
E MajorE      A augmentedA       D MajorD    G+G
I can?t stop gushing, I?m a hemophiliac
C majorC       G+G          D MajorD
I don?t wanna bleed if you?re not bleeding with me

E MajorE      A augmentedA         D MajorD     G+G  D/F#D/F#
We count the stars but we can?t bring them down
E MajorE       A augmentedA        D MajorD      G+G  D/F#D/F#
It's a mystic beauty, and it?s buzzing all around
E MajorE     A augmentedA       D MajorD
Eight more hours and I?m leaving town
C majorC       G+G          D MajorD
I don?t wanna leave if you?re not leaving with me
C majorC       G+G           D MajorD
I don?t wanna breathe if you?re not breathing with me


Outro:

Love is over, it?s over and you can?t go back
C majorC      G+G     D MajorD         A minorAm
When you?re older, you just keep telling yourself that
C majorC      G+G     D MajorD       A minorAm
The door is open, even if it?s just a tiny crack
    C majorC        G+G     D MajorD

You're up at night and wandering back
