   G5                     C5
I came to pick you up driving
   G5                              C5
I tried to phone you to come down but you were online
        G5                       C5
And so I had to park by your house
           G5                              C5
If there's time for a smoke then I should buy some fags
      G5                                 C5
And a ticket on the window when I come back
G5                         A5
I should have written the code to your door
C5                         G5
I should have had it as a tattoo on my hand
G5                        A5
I should have learnt the numbers by heart
C5                              G5
And you would have let me in again

G5                            C5
You got into my little blue japanese car
G5                                C5
Your hair smelling good from the shower
G5                                          C5
Looked at all the tapes around and on the floor
G5                             C5
You even stepped on sticky fingers
G5                                     C5
You took the white box of a Daniel Johnston tape
G5                           C5
Genuine from Austin, Texas in your hands and said:
G5                  C5
"What's that? Well it looks pretty cool..."

G5 C5

       G5                          A5
And I knew that even if for some reason
C5            G5
You did not know
G5                   A5
Some of the most beautiful things in the world
C5                     G5
You were one of them too
      G5                      D5
And there could be a lot of songs
  C5                       G5
There could be a lot of songs
  G5                       D5
There could be a lot of songs
  C5                       G5
There could be a lot of songs

G5 C5
G5 C5 G5   <-- end on G5


Notes:
I've tried my best to line up the chord changes with the lyrics, it might not be too 
easy to follow given how much David can fit into a line, but just listen to the song and it 
should make sense.

When strumming, alternate between bass and treble strings, really putting some welly 
into the upstrokes, getting the high notes to ring out, or finger pick. Some of the C 
chords are hammered on.
