Intro
C5 A5 F5 D5

Verse I 

         C5
Well the room was Mediterranean
    A5
The meaning was twofold
       F5
We got busted by your mother
              D5
Though you're 29 years old
        C5
And the pictures wrapped in cellophane
     A5
Like sandwiches or stamps
F5
Burnholes in my pockets
           D5
And in the inseams of my pants

         C5                        
And your graduation date 
          A5
was in absentia* today
        F5
And you wished you woulda stuck with him
           D5
Though you told him not to stay
        C5
And the redwoods and the oak trees
        A5
And the double yellow lines
         F5
Although they're in perfect symmetry
     D5
They keep imperfect time

Chorus (play 2x)

             C5
I don't mean no, 
        A5
I don't maybe
                F5
I'm in definitely 
                D5
I'm in definitely 

Verse II

C5                                     
Well your car was Japanese 
        A5
perhaps Hungarian and blue
          F5                                
And it followed you down highway 1, 
      D5
kept almost out of view
           C5                             
And it symbolizes something 
             A5
although you don't know what it is
        F5                            
Like loneliness or longing 
       D5
for a future perfect kiss


Repeat chorus

             C5
I don't mean no, 
        A5
I don't maybe
                F5
I'm in definitely 
                D5
I'm in definitely 

Bridge

(solo plays over verse)

A5                                         C5
The second hand's the first thing that you see when you wake up
       F5                               D5
And it goes by in slow motion, and you rub it for good luck
       A5                          C5
Time is gonna tell your little secrets to me
           F5                                    D5
There's a frightened girl inside of you and I'm gonna set her free
