You Got To Me(Chords)

	        Intro: G C G C 

G                               C 
To celebrate undying faith, weâ??re gathered here like drifted wrecks 
G                               D 
for a late September wedding, October breathing down our necks. 
G                                   C 
I knew this town in another time. I knew this town a younger man 
G                               D 
with the world in my hip pocket a subway token in my hand. 
G       C           G           C 
          Mmm you got to me. 

G                                               C 
And they got candlelight and a reggae band, champagne by the bucket load 
G                               D 
Limos lined up down the curb to take us where we need to go. 
G                                       C 
And I need to go somewhere Iâ??ve been to find a place I lost the trail 
G                               D 
Way back then so long ago I donâ??t suppose you even know 

G                
You got to me. 
C                               G            C 
Brought all this empty down on top of me. 
G               C       G       C 
You got to me. 

G                                               C 
We danced between the snowflakes falling, tripping on the cobblestones 
G                                              D 
And the trolley tracks, we had it all then, Christmas break your roommates gone 
G                                            C 
We stoked the fire and let it burn till the embers glowed in the morning light 
G                                       D 
Trust in the tangle of skin on skins Iâ??ve not known quite that feeling since 

G                
You got to me. 
C                               G 
Brought all this empty down on top of me. 
C                       G               C       D                       G     C    G    C 
I didnâ??t know but we were not to be, but I know a thing or two now. 


G                                         C 
The wedding partyâ??s raging yet, how the old and desperate misbehave 
G                                  D 
Limo smells like cocaine sweat, cheap cologne and aftershave 
G                                              C 
Itâ??s gotta be one of these row house doors I knew the number long ago 
G                                  D 
I step out on the curb. Tell the driver just go on and go. 

G 
You got to me. 
C                               G 
Brought all this empty down on top of me. 
C                          G             C       D                G   C 
I didnâ??t know but we were not to be, but I know a thing or two now. 

Interlude: G C G C G C 

G                             C 
The paper boy wants a smoke, leans his bike against a tree 
G                                      D 
Heâ??s tired and cold and broke and he donâ??t what to make of me 
G                                       C 
Standing here in my three piece suit, standing here just like I am 
G                                               D 
With my vest unbuttoned and my neck tie loose, impervious to all abuse 

G 
You got to me. 
C                               G 
Brought all this empty down on top of me. 
C                           G         C           D          G 
Off on a thousand dollar odyssey, and I know a thing or two now. 
     C          D            G 
Yeah I know a thing or two now. 
     C          D            G    C    D    G 
Yeah I know a thing or two now.
