Biography:
Producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion grew up in a musical family: his father was director of the Yale concert and marching bands, his mother sang in jazz bands, and his siblings, Randy (a conductor/arranger in L.A.) and Laurie (a violinist), were both avid music students. Young Jon didn't deal with instruction or practice well, but his natural affinity for improvisation and melody more than made up for his impatience. Unwilling to conform to the conventional school system

[main riff]
[Verse 1 -- 1:12]
A F#m C#7
It was a break in communication
G Dm / Dm6
Well that’s what I’ve been told
A F#m C#7
For lack of evaluation
G Dm / Dm6
Feelings unchecked and uncontrolled
[Prechorus 1 -- 1:30]
F C D
I was always living in my head, not speaking with my heart
F C D B7 -->
Isn’t that what you really said, your mind ripped us apart
[Chorus 1 -- 1:39]
B7 Dm D A
But I was happy with you, however I looked, whatever I did, whatever it was
B7 Dm D A
I was happy about, the ins and the outs, the ups and the downs, the pros and the cons
B7 Dm D A
I was happy with you, if it makes me a fool, maybe I am, maybe I was
[main riff]
[Verse 2 -- 2:04]
A F#m C#7
I always counted us as lucky
G Dm / Dm6
For being on the right track
A F#m C#7
But not a day goes by without me
G Dm / Dm6
Taking note of the fact
[Prechorus 2 -- 2:23]
F C D
So it surprised me when you said, "It's been wrong for quite some time"
F C D B7 -->
Perhaps I'm easily misled? Perhaps I’m really blind
[Chorus 2 -- 2:33]
B7 Dm D A
But I was happy with you, however I looked, whatever I did, whatever it was
B7 Dm D A
I was happy about, the ins and the outs, the ups and the downs, the pros and the cons
B7 Dm D A
I was happy with you, if it makes me a fool, maybe I am, maybe I was

Stop sending me the message
G Dm / Dm6
That we were nearly done
A F#m C#7
It’s part of everyone’s rite of passage
G Dm / Dm6
To fucking leave someone
[Prechorus 3 -- 4:08]
F C D
I can’t tell you what you’ve got in store, or what you miss of us
F C D B7 -->
Not my business anymore, and it probably never was
