Song: Waltz #2 (XO)
Artist: Elliott Smith
Album: XO

To play this song exactly like on the album recording, you need to tune your guitar a 
full step down.
Of course there are two or three guitars used, but I?m just gonna write down the main 
chords and little bits so you can play the song pretty much on one guitar.

VERSE GUITAR REPEATS

Now she?s done and they?re calling someone
Such a familiar name
I?m so glad that my memory?s remote
Cos I?m doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
Here it is, the revenge to the tune
"You?re no good,
You?re no good, you?re no good, you?re no good"
Can?t you tell that it?s well understood?

VERSE GUITAR REPEATS

Looking out on the substitute scene
Still going strong
XO, Mom
It?s ok, it?s all right, nothing?s wrong
Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans to just leave me alone
In the place where I make no mistakes
In the place where I have what it takes

CHORUS GUITAR REPEATS

I?m never gonna know you now
But I?m gonna love you anyhow
I?m never gonna know you now
But I?m gonna love you anyhow
I?m never gonna know you now
But I?m gonna love you anyhow
