Capo on 3rd fret
Intro:
| A C Em A | 2x
Verse:
A
I'm walking outside
C
And I see you arrive
Em
I say let's go for a ride
G
And have a good old time, whoa
A
I'm saving up lies
C
Or just stay quiet every time
Em
While you talkin' your line
G
Keep everything fine, whoa, fine
Pre-Chorus:
A
Between us, I can see
C
Things are not what they used to be
Em
My old friend changed
G
Or maybe it was me
A
Things get so complicated
C
Jokes made, friendships dissipated
Em
Long silence but I speak
G
Now so belated
A
I say, hey, wait a minute
C
What's that you said?
Em A
I'm Not so sure that I heard you right
A
Whoa, oh, hey, wait a minute
C
Oh, say that again
Em
You're in the dust
A
Drawing a long straight line
Interlude: A C Em A
Verse:
A
We'd be playing outside
C
We'd swing on the swings
Em
Shared most everything
G
Sit there and even sing
A
Now I sit and wonder
C
Why it's a friendship charade
Em
Looking for fights all day
G
I don't want to play, whoa
Pre-Chorus:
A
But I do, here we go
C
I fire off another lame remark
You're in the dark
Em
No bite, just your bark
G
But it leaves a painful mark
A
Oh, painful mark on your soul
C
Takes its toll
Em
I might as well fold
I've got my courage up
G
Gonna roll low
A
I say, hey, wait a minute
C
What's that you said?
Em A
I'm Not so sure that I heard you right
A
Whoa, oh, hey, wait a minute
C
Oh, say that again
Em
You're in the dust
A
Drawing a long straight line
Interlude:
| A C Em A | (2x)
Verse:
A
We talk and talk
C
But you never see
Em
Unreconstructed defiantly
My old friend changed
G
Or maybe it was me
A
Things get so complicated
C
Jokes made, friendships dissipated
Em
I've stayed quiet
G
So we don't get alienated
A
I say, hey, wait a minute
C
What's that you said?
Em A
I'm Not so sure that I heard you right
A
Whoa, oh, hey, wait a minute
C
Oh, say that again
Em
You're in the dust
A
Drawing a long straight line
| A C Em A | repeat till end
