Intro
C Am F Dm

Verse I 

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

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

Chorus (play 2x)

             C
I don't mean no, 
        Am
I don't maybe
                F
I'm in definitely 
                Dm
I'm in definitely 

Verse II

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


Repeat chorus

             C
I don't mean no, 
        Am
I don't maybe
                F
I'm in definitely 
                Dm
I'm in definitely 

Bridge

(solo plays over verse)

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