From: "M. Schweisthal" 
Subject: Chords/Lyrics to "29" by the Gin Blossoms


"29" as performed by the Gin Blossoms (written by J. Valenzuela)
>From their album "New Miserable Experience"
Brought to you by Mike Schweisthal [mschweis@u.washington.edu]

Chords used: G:320003 C:X32010 D:XX0232 Em:022000 G/B:X20033 Am:X02210

Notes:  I normally play this acoustic and without an instrumental
break/solo, so that's how I have it laid out here...After the last two
choruses, I play the intro progression through once and end on G...a '|'
denotes a measure break...this is one of my faves off of NME...I hope
some others out there appreciate it, too...enjoy--Mike

INTRO:  | G  C | D  G | Em | D |
        | G  C | D  G | Em | D |

 G    C      D         G    Em               D
Time won't stand by forever if I know it's true
    G      C        D      G         Em                  D
And I've learned not to say never or else I'll seem the fool
  G        C          D           G       Em             D
Twenty-nine you'd think I'd know better...Living like a kid
  G      C         D             G           Em             D
When my lies may seem less than clever...is when I fall for it
                    C                G/B                 Am           D
     CHORUS:  Only time will tell if wishing wells will bring us anything
         C                  G/B                 Am               D
     Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams--forgotten memories

| G  C | D  G | Em | D |

 G          C           D        G        Em                 D
Some rides don't have much of a finish...that's the ride I took
         G        C              D            G            Em            D
Through good and bad and straight through indifference without a second look
  G           C          D       G      Em           D
There's no intentions worthy of mention if we never try
    G         C          D        G       Em              D
So hang your hopes on rusted-out hinges...take 'em for a ride

     CHORUS
 G          C          D         G        Em                 D
Some rides don't have much of a finish...that's the ride I took
         G        C              D            G            Em            D
Through good and bad and straight through indifference without a second look

     CHORUS 2X
