Beautiful, sad song. One of my favorites. Very easy to play… All chords
relative to capo. Definitely get the record and listen to get the rhythm down
pat. He slides down from F* to the A* throughout.

CAPO 2
INTRO
F* >(slide)> A* > D*
F* A* D*
You used to love a lot of things
F* A* D*
You used to love talking
F* A* D*
This you never told me about
F* A* D*
If its what your eyes were saying,
F* A* D*
I already figured it out
F* A* D*
I could just tell it was bad,
F* A* D*
I couldnt tell how bad
F* A* D*
Your never took off the shades,
F* A* D*
you stayed like that four days
F* A* D*
I guess your pain never weakened,
F* A* D*
your cool blood started burning
F* A* D*
Scorching most of us in the flames
F* A* D*
There are things you cant change
F* A* D*
There are things you cant change
F* A* D*
Its called the curse of a humans life
F* A* D*
that you couldnt change
F* A* D*
Said youd never be old enough,
F* A* D*
or young enough, tall enough,
F* A* D*
or Thin enough, smart enough
F* A* D*
or brave enough, rich enough,
F* A* D*
or Pretty enough, strong enough
F* A* D*
good enough, you were to us
F* A* D*
You wanted silence by itself
F* A* D*
just the word
F* A* D*
You wanted peace by itself,
F* A* D*
just to work
F* A* D*
There were things you couldnt change
F* A* D*
You got the dull pounding rain
F* A* D*
You got the last car on that long desert train
F* A* D*
You almost made it
F* A* D*
You almost made it again.
