Intro: G - Cadd9 (2x)
Verse:
G Cadd G Cadd
10 am, and a new day begins, that old mornin' sun covers up most everything
Am* D**
The Backyard, The Dirt And The Cars
Am* D**
The Confusion, The Chaos Of What We Are
(You get the idea..listen to the song, you'll get the timing.
* lift your 4th finger off the G-string and hit back on it, mess around a little bit :)
** Put your pinky on 3rd fret and lift it off. Again, just mess around )
The Sounds Outside Are A Hushed Up Waltz
But Silence Speaks Words Neither True Nor False
But It’s Just Us That Make Them What They Are
So Stupid, Cruel, Too Close And Too Far
(play the intro again)
Well I Remember All The Words That You Said
You Said You Believed In A Love That Could Last Way Past Death
So I Ordered Another 2 Drinks
Just To Make Time For Myself, To Think
About Who We Really Are
As We Flick Thru The Pages Of Our Calendars
To Find Just What We Really Need
Is Something That Knows Nothing Bout Ignorance Or Greed
Cadd9 Am G - D - Cadd9
But Now It’s Back To The Amusement Park
Am G - D - Cadd9
Walk Past The Bright Lights On Your Way Back Home In The Dark
Em
And I Guess You’ve Heard This One Before
Am D (play with pinky) -> intro again
You Can’t Start Rebuilding Till You’ve Won The War
(Now it's all just the same)
Down In The Basement With My New Found Friend
He’s Not A Man Of Words But God, He’s Heaven Sent
And He’ll Listen To The Storys That I’ve Got To Tell
And He’s Not Afraid To Hear The Ones Bout Heaven And Hell
There Are Some Things That I Keep In Boxes Deep Within
Birds, Bugs And Animals That Never Get To See The Sun
Cause You’d All Run Away If I Dragged Them All Out
So I Just Soldier On Like A Good Cub Scout
(play: Gsus - Cadd - Gsus - Cadd - Am - D - Am - D)
I Was Told There’s A Message In The Smell Of Cut Grass
It’s Not Hard To Understand It’s Just Thin As Glass
So Just Be Careful Not To Break It Before You Leave
As You Write Down The All The Words On Your Shirtsleeve
But Now It’s Back To The Amusement Park
Walk Past The Bright Lights On Your Way Home In The Dark
And I Guess You’ve Heard This One Before
You Can’t Start Rebuilding Till You’ve Won The War
Till You’ve Won The War.
Alright, have fun.
