You still try to make jokes when you don't what to say
C F
You still don't know how to act when good things come your way
G Am F
Like saying you still don't know when I ask you if you'll stay
C G C
It's that kind of thing that gets me down
[VERSE]
C F
They told us on TV things might be coming to an end
C F
I said I'd like to smell the scene once more in that event
G Am F
You said just let me grab my coat and my grabbed my arm instead
C G C
It's that kind of thing that gets me down
[VERSE]
C F
Driving home I said "lets go to France instead of home"
C F
You said you'd follow me wherever I would like to go
G Am F
You let me lay my head down slowly on your winter coat
C G C
It's that kind of thing that gets me down
[SOLO]
[VERSE]
C F
I told everything I know which songs and books I like
C F
Like the one in which they sing to get that warm and mellow sound
G Am F
But you forget to mention there were more like me around
C G C
It's that kind of thing that gets me down
[VERSE]
C F
You read me bits of books you liked as well straight from your head
C F
You whispered someone wisdom lying next to me in bed
G Am F
Like how a truth you don't believe can hurt more than a lie
C G C
It's that kind of thing that gets me down
[VERSE]
C F
We sat down on our knees one morning trying to plant some seeds
C F
Believing they would grow to become these famous ancient trees
G Am F
And one day we'd be just like them all grown up and proud and tall
G Am F
We'd lay down in the grass not saying anything at all
G Am F
Just like we did one million times before when we were small
C G C
It's that kind of thing that gets me down
[SOLO]
[VERSE]
C F
Inside the box you gave something I didn't expect
C F
It's the one your granddad gave you, you once showed from your bed
G Am F
I should keep it out of sight but I'll hang it on my wall instead
C G C
It's that kind of thing that gets me down
