I sit two stories above the street
(G) (C/G) (G) (G)
It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep
Am G/B
There's life down below me though
C D G C/G G G
The kids are walking home from school
G C/G G G
So long ago when we were taught
G C/G G G
That for whatever kind of puzzle you've got
Am G/B
You just stick the right formula in
C D G C/G G G
A solution for every fool
D D C C
I remember the time when I came so close to you
G G Am7 Am7
Sent me skipping my class and running from school
C C D [tacet]
And I bought you that ring cause I never was cool
G D C
What makes me think I could start clean slated
C D [tacet] G C/G G G G C/G G G
G C/G G G
Oh I just sit up in the house and resist
G C/G G G
And not be seen until I cease to exist
Am7 G/B
A kind of conscientious objection
C D G C/G G G
A kind of dodging the draft
G C/G G G
The boy and girl are holding hands on the street
G C/G G G
And I don't want to but I think you just wait
Am7 G/B
It's more than just eye-to-eye
C D G Gsus4 G G
Learn the things I could never apply
D(sus4?) D(sus4?) [ch]C(9)[/ch] C(9)
And I remember the time when I came so close with you
G G Am7 Am7
I let everything go it seemed the only truth
C C D [tacet]
And I bought you that ring; it seemed the thing to do
G D C
What makes me think I could start clean slated
C D [tacet] G G
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
G D C
So what makes me think I could start clean slated
C D D G G
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
Am7 Am7 Em7 Em7
Ohhhhh, I'm just a mirror of a mirror of myself
C D G G
All the things that I do
Em Em Bm Bm
And the next time I fall, I'm gonna have to recall
C C/B Am7 C/G D (D)-(Dsus4) (D) [tacet]
It isn't love, it's only something new
