Verse 1:
                        Em  C
You?ll be accepting my apology
                      G      C
For taking things too seriously
                   G                E/G#
Sometimes I?m old enough to keep routines         
              Am               C
Sometimes I?m child enough to scream
         Em               C
For everything I broke in two
              G                      C
You?re barely missing me I?m missing you
                   G           E/G#
And everything you do I really do
         Am        C
I really do Sure I do


Refrain 1:
Bm                   C
My once photographic memory
G                             Em
  For recollections?s sake is failing me
C
  I can?t remember for the life of me


Chorus:
G               Bm
Sometimes I can think to recite
Em           C
Words that I read and rewrite
   Bm                                 C
My pens paint people that I?ve proven wrong
(repeat)

Em        C
  We move on


Verse 2:
      Em          C
Get a job where I tell
            G                 C
All of my accounts of someone else
                    G                    E/G#
I?m quick enough to judge that they were wrong
            Am           C
And that we knew it all along
       Em               C
Sing a long long-winded song
           G               Em(hold) D(hold) C       
I would be content to hum along     Humm


Bridge:
     G                                   C
If I state that my fingers know where to show
                          Em
What everyone should have known
            G
I?ll let it go
                    C
Hopefully you?ll forget
                        Em
Any words that I put in print
                C(hold)
My luck, you?ll change
                              C
Have strength enough to walk away


(Repeat Chorus 4 times)
