Intro:
Em
                                                            G
So what I said is what I said and what you said is what you meant.
Em
And when you left my house in the morning
G
You wrote your message on the cement.
Am                                                  C
You put the letters and the numbers under people's feet.
Am                  C                         D
You took all of the dealings and feelings and wrote them on the street.

G                                   Em
And everybody, everybody, everybody knows.
G                                      Em
And when I went outside and I saw it I froze.
Am                                                   C
You put my secret and your secret under people's feet.
Am                 C                    D
Ah, you remembered what I said, and you wrote it on the fucking concrete.

Em

                                               G - Em
So what we do is what we do for me and you not everyone.
                                       G
But outside in the night you were busy writing down what we had done.
Am           C                     D
You seemed alright last night, but now I know that I was wrong.

G                                   Em
And everybody, everybody, everybody knows.
G                                      Em
And when I went outside and I saw it I froze.
Am                                               C
You put my secret and your secret under people's feet.
Am                 C                    D
Ah, you remembered what I said, and you wrote it on the fucking concrete.

D Am

Em              G               Em
And I guess you know how people talk,
              G                   Am
But it's only words and it's only chalk.
              C            D
And I'll feel better maybe when we get some weather.
