VERSE:
 C                                          G
Way down south is where I know my love will be
C                                          G
I got dressed up in this suit which was a novelty
          Am
And I'll stay waiting,
             C
Yeah, yeah, yeah

 C
She got dressed up and we went out

And she said: "Let's make a mess of us,

Maybe some truth will come out"
                 Am
And I'll said: "I'll be waiting,
             C
Yeah, yeah, yeah"


CHORUS:
            F
She said: "Some days could change,
            Am
So make the best of what we got
            F
I'm pretty sure we don't hurt,
          Am
Well the ones
    G
We love
     C
Any more,

           Am
Yeah, any more,
           C
Yeah, any more,
           Am
Yeah, any more"


VERSE:
   C
As we got home,
                        G
As we went inside, you said:
  C
"Maybe you're right for me, but
              G
Maybe you're not
                  Am
Please could you tell me,
                C
Well, I don't know?
                  Am
Please could you tell me,
                 C
Or please let me go?"


CHORUS:
             F
You said: "Some weight this could be,
           Am
From your shoulders if you would please
             F
If you take good care of yourself
         Am
And the ones
    G
We love


CHORUS:
            F
'Cause someday this will change
             Am
And make the best of what we've got
        F
And be sure we don't hurt,
                Am
Yeah, well the ones
    G
We love,
           C
Yeah, any more,
      G    Am
Yeah, any more,
           C
Yeah, any more,
      G    Am
Yeah, any more"


VERSE:
                               C
As when you said when we were younger:

"It was so simple
      G             Am
Now, what do we do wrong well

When we were together,
                 C
How fast we've grown up?"

I still remember my mother
                    Am
Screaming from our doorway:


OUTRO:
  Am
"You're gonna hurt yourself
      G          C
Come down from there,

You're gonna hurt yourself
      G          Am
Come down from there,

You're gonna hurt yourself
      G           C
Come down from there,

You're gonna hurt yourself
      G         Am
Come down from there,
                             C
You're gonna hurt yourself"


INSTRUMENTAL: XYLOPHONE/GUITAR
