Standard Tuning

A (x02220@1)                                     BmRemember (x24432@1)when our so-called friend would not call out to you 
               F#m (244222@1)                                   D (xx0232@1)name="chord_xx0230@1">Dsus2
while tumbling loosely out a hole punched through your home? 
     A (x02220@1)                                      BmIt's (x24432@1)pretty clear, though you could hear, you truly finally knew,
              F#m (244222@1)                              D (xx0232@1)name="chord_xx0230@1">Dsus2
in time, he'd tell his tale the way he'd like it told.

F#m (244222@1)        BmNow (x24432@1)he isn't on the phone, 
        Bm (x24432@1)                   Dand (xx0232@1)his story might as well be so.

A (x02220@1)                          BmWell, (x24432@1)loving is as loving does, and I'd say we should know,
                     F#m (244222@1)                     D (xx0232@1)name="chord_xx0230@1">Dsus2
because we both have loved, have lost, and are alone. 
     A (x02220@1)                                BmYour (x24432@1)face's falling tears, to me they're lovely and they're dear,
           F#m (244222@1)                                   D (xx0232@1)           Dsus2though (xx0230@1)you don't love me and it's clear that I will never see you in my arms.

F#m (244222@1)           BmThere's (x24432@1)no room in your heart
     Bm (x24432@1)                      D (xx0232@1)name="chord_xx0230@1">Dsus2
for even this finely-sharpened dart;

A (x02220@1)    F#m (244222@1)    Bm (x24432@1)                       D (xx0232@1)            A (x02220@1)      
although I had started to think there might be hope, it isn't so.

Bridge: A Bm F#m D Dsus2

F#m (244222@1)           Bm (x24432@1)             D (xx0232@1)              ASo (x02220@1)wake up, make up some new song again around the same tune.

A (x02220@1)                                     Bm (x24432@1)The water cools, the leaves they fall, the sun it bends, the summer ends;
            D (xx0232@1)              Aour (x02220@1)so-called friend doesn't need you.

A (x02220@1)                                BmSo (x24432@1)proceed out the door and down the street. December's lying near,
           F#m (244222@1)                          D (xx0232@1)name="chord_xx0230@1">Dsus2
but in the oven's heat this house is now a home.
A (x02220@1)                                BmSixty (x24432@1)days of trips and stays you took to tell me, dear, 
            F#m (244222@1)                         D (xx0232@1)name="chord_xx0230@1">Dsus2
that you cannot love me because you secretly still love a stone.

F#m (244222@1)               Bm (x24432@1)            
Although I put my lips to your face, 
		  Bm (x24432@1)                     Dtrying (xx0232@1)to push his kiss out of its place,

A (x02220@1)       F#m (244222@1)    Bm (x24432@1)                    D (xx0232@1)                 Aalthough (x02220@1)my heart started to race, now it has slowed, I'll let it go.

End: A Bm F#m D (X2) A
