A5 C5 E5 I recall the day I came to stay in my beloved Ehime. D5 * A5 C5 There wasn't much I could say to express my confusion E5 At least in Japanese anyway. A5 C5 E5 D5 I was struck by the smell of the staff-room and the dog-like procedure involved A5 C5 E5 when I went to the bathroom. It was a struggle back then. G5 D5 C5 But now... I've learned to use the toilet, G5 D5 C5 And now after failing niikyu I can speak nihongo, or whatever they call it. G5 D5 C5 Now I can ask a girl for her phone number G5 D5 C5 And after 12 long months I'm pretty bloody good at ikebana. A5 C5 E5 D5 When I arrived in my town, they said there's a super(market) down the road, A5 C5 E5 And it's not too far. It took two hours by train and another hour by car. A5 C5 I made a nice group of friends in my town, E5 They were a very friendly bunch, D5 A5 C5 E5 But they didn't get let out of the old peoples home, that much. G5 D5 C5 But now... I've made friends my own age, G5 D5 C5 And now I can read a menu, well at least the first page. G5 D5 C5 And now I understand that people don't mean to be dicks, G5 D5 C5 When they say with a patronizing smile, that I'm good with chopsticks. A5 C5 I have grown to love the love princess, E5 D5 A5 I just wish I had a little more success with the opposite sex, C5 E5 or if I was gay then with the same sex. (Repeat Twice) *Note: D on the verse is played in the shape of C 2 frets up. Note: The album version is played with the guitar tuned two steps down.
