Standard Tuning
LA SIm
Remember when our so-called friend would not call out to you
FA#m RE REsus2
while tumbling loosely out a hole punched through your home?
LA SIm
It’s pretty clear, though you could hear, you truly finally knew,
FA#m RE REsus2
in time, he’d tell his tale the way he’d like it told.
FA#m SIm
Now he isn’t on the phone,
SIm RE
and his story might as well be so.
LA SIm
Well, loving is as loving does, and I’d say we should know,
FA#m RE REsus2
because we both have loved, have lost, and are alone.
LA SIm
Your face’s falling tears, to me they’re lovely and they’re dear,
FA#m RE REsus2
though you don’t love me and it’s clear that I will never see you in my arms.
FA#m SIm
There’s no room in your heart
SIm RE REsus2
for even this finely-sharpened dart;
LA FA#m SIm RE LA
although I had started to think there might be hope, it isn’t so.
Bridge: A Bm F#m D Dsus2
FA#m SIm RE LA
So wake up, make up some new song again around the same tune.
LA SIm
The water cools, the leaves they fall, the sun it bends, the summer ends;
RE LA
our so-called friend doesn’t need you.
LA SIm
So proceed out the door and down the street. December’s lying near,
FA#m RE REsus2
but in the oven’s heat this house is now a home.
LA SIm
Sixty days of trips and stays you took to tell me, dear,
FA#m RE REsus2
that you cannot love me because you secretly still love a stone.
FA#m SIm
Although I put my lips to your face,
SIm RE
trying to push his kiss out of its place,
LA FA#m SIm RE LA
although my heart started to race, now it has slowed, I’ll let it go.
End: A Bm F#m D (X2) A
